The 6 day war. The release of Sergeant Pepper. New ideas, new values, new morals. It is the summer of 1967. In the traditional Swiss mountain village of Leysin, the Schuber family come into a modest inheritance. Whilst they plan how to spend their windfall, their next door neighbour - beautiful, impoverished, and embittered Mrs Kandinsky - has her own ideas... A wonderfully observed story of romance, deceit and revenge unfolds, as the truth surrounding the inheritance is revealed. The money becomes the catalyst for the destruction of long held beliefs as events spiral out of control, with tragic results.
