One day Doris Schmid leaves her northern home town and migrates to a small village in a small valley in southern Switzerland, Verzasca. She changes her profession (becoming a successful author, among other things), changes her name (becoming Kathrin Rüegg), and ends up changing the valley (it becomes “Verzascatal”). In her new
southern home however nobody knows her (or those who do ignore her), even though “up north” she is considered the very incarnation of the warm and tender, fun-loving south.

Un giorno Doris Schmid abbandona la sua città del nord e sbarca in un piccolo villaggio di una piccola valle del sud: la Verzasca. Cambia mestiere (diventa scrittrice di successo, ma non solo), cambia nome (diventa Kathrin Rüegg) e cambia la valle (che diventa Verzascatal). Giù al sud nessuno la conosce (chi la conosce la ignora); su al nord la prendono per l'incarnazione del caldo, dolce, felice sud.
