Laax is currently growing and developing like no other municipality in Graubünden. On the one hand, this means jobs and income for residents and businesses. On the other hand, concerns about the village's identity, language, and soul are growing. The film depicts this upswing, but above all, it addresses questions about the identity and soul of a community, as well as its cohesion.
