A winter in the Grisons mountains. What to do when the heavy snow is absent – and with it, the guests? Paul and Georg stand at their old ski lift, just like every year. Nothing can easily disturb the orderly Georg, and the great storyteller Paul is never at a loss for words. He comes up with a tale for everything to stop the great disappearance and restore balance to the upside-down world. He talks about the whims of the weather and the joys of life, speaks of his great love Claire and the son who does as he pleases. He shares stories of life in the mountains, of ancestors and role models, of victory and defeat, school and upbringing, and ponders the timeless questions of origin and future. Arno Camenisch describes, in his unmistakably unique style, vividly and precisely, the end and disappearance in a valley undergoing change, while the ski lift in the background rattles regularly like the passage of the world.
