- The farmers of a village decide to postpone the construction of a new school in profit of a concentration to cheese production.
- In June of 1866, while in Washington to pursue reparations from Congress for property losses during the Gold Rush, Swiss-born John Sutter sits for a portrait that still hangs in Solothurn. As Frank Buchser paints, Sutter relates his life story: his childhood, apprenticeship, early marriage, business failures, and departure to America, alone, in the late 1830s. He establishes his business empire in what becomes Sacramento, losing out again when gold is discovered at a mill he's building, his lands to be trampled by the world rushing in. Nearly 20 years later, reunited with his wife and living in New York, dignified and without regrets, he futilely lobbies Congress.

- The film "Of Sins, Sofas and Sausages" depicts a special microcosm: Because of the many immigrants and social housings, the quarter has the reputation of being a ghetto - here 2500 people from 42 nations live. However, the quarter can be seen as a kind of experimental laboratory for living together in the migration country Switzerland. On the basis of small, fine stories Switzerland is shown how it could look like in one generation. In a subtle way the film stimulates the reflection on where the momentary immigration of refugees could lead to: to a respectful cooperation and coexistence of all kinds of cultures.
