The background is the film Morgarten Findet Statt in which the anarchic ideology of my compariots is brought into focus through the festive world of central Switzerland. The film shows what Morgarten stand for nowadays. Apart from an understanding of the complex cultural relationships existing in central Switzerland I wanted to investigate who and what influenced my upbringing.
