At the eighth stroke of the clock at eight o'clock, "Silent Night" is brought to an end. On New Year's Eve, the "Glöggeler," "Blateremandli," and "Bäsemanne" appear. Every year, the Bernese town of Laupen is transformed into a witches' cauldron. Unlike in the past, girls are also discovering the tradition. A VJ-Büez (self-directed) takes care of everything from filming through post-production to broadcast the following day.
