Synopsis: ‘Heidi,’ a 2015 movie which is based on the novel of the same name by Johanna Spyri, is a story of a young orphan girl named Heidi. After living for several years with her Aunt Dete, Heidi is brought to live in the mountains with her elderly grandfather Alpöhi. She quickly makes friends with goat-herd Peter, a boy just a little older than her. For the next few years Heidi grows up happy with her grandfather and Peter. Some time later Aunt Dete returns and tricks Heidi into running away with her to Frankfurt to become a companion to a young girl Klara in an upper-class family townhouse. In the end though the desire to go back to the open spaces of the mountains becomes too strong for a homesick Heidi and Klara’s father returns her to her grandfather, much to   Klara’s sadness.
