Plot synopsis of Heidi and Grandpa
Orphan Heidi (Anouk Steffen) is sent to the Alps by her aunt Deti (Anna Sheens) to live with her grandfather (Bruno Gantz), who lives alone in the mountains far from town. The lively Heidi is like a fish in water here, not only harvesting the friendship of the shepherd Peter (Quelin Aglippi is acted the role of) and the family of the solitary grandfather, but also with Peter’s family at the bottom of the mountain. One day, while Hedy was herding sheep in the mountains with Peter, her aunt suddenly appeared and coaxed and tricked Heidi into selling her to the Zesemann family in Frankfurt. Since then, the illiterate Heidi has become the companion of Miss Clara (Isabelle Altman). Clara lost her mother when she was young, became seriously ill and could no longer stand, and was confined to a mansion in a wheelchair. Her father (Maxim Mehmet is acted the role of) rarely comes home after years of being away, and the lonely Clara takes Heidi as a lifeline. Will Heidi adjust to her new life with the Sesemans? Will the distant grandfather and Peter ever see each other again? Is there any hope for Clara’s leg to get better?
