What happens

Heidi and Peter (German: Heidi und Peter) is a 1955 Swiss family drama film directed by Franz Schnyder and starring Heinrich Gretler, Elsbeth Sigmund and Thomas Klameth. It is a sequel to the 1952 film Heidi and an adaptation of the 1881 second volume of the novel Heidi (Heidi kann brauchen, was es gelernt hat) by Johanna Spyri. It was the first Swiss film made in colour and was one of the biggest grossing films in Switzerland for the year. It was shot at the Rosenhof Studios in Zurich and the Bavaria Studios in Munich. Location shooting took place around the Bernese Alps in Western Switzerland. The film's sets were designed by the art director Max Röthlisberger. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
