About This Movie
"Death of the Grandfather or: The Sleep of the Just" is a 1978 documentary that explores the life and death of a man emblematic of Protestant Switzerland in the early 20th century. Through the perspectives of his five daughters, the film provides insight into family dynamics and the socio-economic context of that era.
This film is relatively hard to come by, as it wasn't widely distributed outside of niche documentary circles. Its unique perspective on familial bonds and work ethics in a very specific cultural context makes it appealing to collectors interested in social history. Various formats have emerged over the years, but the original release remains the most sought after, reflecting a growing interest in documentaries that capture personal narratives within larger societal frameworks.
