Synopsis

I have only few memories of my childhood in Berne. These include the sad bears in the bear pit and the orange plaited sugar candies at the "Zwibelifest". Then there are these pictures in black and white with strange people I can't place. Especially one photo has occupied me for decades in which I pose as a toddler next to two blond, older children against a black background. Who were these two children? They belong to a time about which my mother has very little to say: her time as a "Gastarbeiterin" in Switzerland.
