When Marie's grandmother, who has been dreaming for years of making humanity happy with her environmentally friendly technical inventions, falls for a con artist, loses all her money, and the property is about to be auctioned off, the desperate girl tries everything to save her home. In doing so, she is not only 'actively' supported by the house, but also by her friends Stefan and Konrad. However, this is complicated by the fact that both of them want to "go out" with her and suddenly demand that she choose one of them.

Children of the Open Road (1992)
In 1939, after barely escaping the Nazis, a Gypsy family returns to Switzerland only to be torn apart by racial persecution in the benign guise of children's welfare. This fictionalized story of Jana, an eight-year-old Gypsy girl snatched from her parents and consigned to a life of orphanages and bleak foster homes, is based on a little-known chapter of Swiss history: From 1926 to 1972, the state-supported Pro Juventute, a children's aid foundation, forcibly removed some 700 Gypsy children from their families, in order to sever the ties with their culture and assimilate them to a "better way of life." The underlying aim was to preempt a new generation's caravans from following their nomadic traditions along Switzerland's country lanes.
