Who doesn't dream of owning their own house, idyllically located somewhere in the countryside, on the edge of a forest or by a lake? Many people think that tiny houses are affordable and quick to build, but the road to getting there is rockier than expected. Three people have dared to try the experiment. _____________________________________________ ???? Subscribe to SRF Dok now on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/srfdok?sub_co... ????

She has lived in a cooperative in the city of Basel for ages, and now she wants to move into a tiny house in the country. She finds a piece of building land whose owner is willing to lease it to her. Christian Gerber has decided to build his own tiny house: a former circus wagon that he wants to live in with his partner Pascale. The two are around 60, want to downsize and live somewhere in nature. They have given themselves a year for this project. And finally Claudia Raemy. The mother of two and commercial employee has dreamed of a simpler life since separating from the children's father. The three-storey detached house is much too big for Claudia. She wants to do less housework and have more time for the children and for herself. _____________________________________________ ▪ A film by Michèle Sauvain ▪ Camera: Ueli Haberstich ▪ Editing: Gabi Steiner ▪ Music: Lian Neff, Lea Lu ▪ Production: Monika Zingg ▪ Director: Nathalie Rufer _____________________________________________ This is «DOK»: Our in-depth documentaries on topics from society, nature, politics, sport and business.
