Watch Eggs, Fire and Ashes

Switzerland is home to some of the oldest and strangest Carnival traditions in the world. When the late winter Carnival spirit erupts in the cities and remote mountain villages, the normally reserved Swiss don masks and re-encounter each other in surprisingly earthy, and even rough ways. In this film participants of all ages reflect on the importance of Carnival to themselves and their communities, as well as on its future.

Eggs, Fire and Ashes is a 2013 documentary with a runtime of 50 minutes.
