action
In the old town of Bern there is an abandoned house in which deceased residents are said to be haunted. The new journalist Rico Häberli receives the order from editor Oppliger to scout the house. He spends one night in the building and discovers a ghost. Together with the young owner of the house, he tries to get to the bottom of the matter.
criticism
"An amusing dialect comedy, made a bit clumsy in terms of film, but with excellent acting performances and a profound criticism of stubborn rationalism and fearful superstition."
