In a playful manner the film embarks on the search for contemporary notions of homeland and shows real and surreal worlds. The film was shot in the Swiss tourist village Zermatt at the foot of the iconic Matterhorn mountain as well as in Disneyland in California where there is a copy of the Matterhorn. Anka Schmid confronts concrete living conditions with clichés and is not afraid of the balancing act between philosophical thoughts and kitsch-souvenirs. The Matterhorn serves as a leitmotif. People from Zermatt, tourists from all over the world and a Swiss-American explain their understanding of homeland and their relationship with the mystically superelevated Matterhorn mountain. The interviews are accompanied by pictures of the mountain and performances by the cabaret group.
