Tale Of A Sad Man

There is a house in the mountains of Graubünden. The mother is dead, the daughter arrives, then the granddaughter. They want to clear out the house—but inside, they sense the presence of the dead woman's secret companions. In addition to a silent hunter and an intrusive chiropodist, another figure seems to have found its place in the woman's life, telling her story from heaven: "S'Tuntschi vo Juf," the doll that came to life from the mountain legend of "Sennentuntschi."

Directed by Jon Grandpierre, Tale Of A Sad Man leans on a strong ensemble — Sandra Moser, Nadège Kanku, Jon Grandpierre — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2026.
