The eternal ice is melting away, faster and faster. It seems to be anything but eternal. What are the consequences of glacier retreat? Can our ice giants still be saved? The documentary film, which I produced in 2020 as part of my Matura thesis at Kantonsschule Wohlen, talks about the disappearance of the Rhone glacier and why we are all affected by the retreat of the ice.

Alpine winter tourism is on the decline. The rising temperatures of recent years have left their mark on a small ski resort called Sattel-Hochstuckli in Central Switzerland. What does this uncertain future bring and how do local businesses deal with these circumstances?
"Traces of Change - The Uncertain Future of a Small Ski Resort" is a documentary film by Raphael Knecht that gets to the bottom of precisely these questions.
