Synopsis:

Harry Lime famously declared that after 500 years of peace and brotherly love the only thing Switzerland had produced was the cuckoo clock, how wrong he was! Echoes of Home is a delightfully bonkers documentary all about the Swiss music form of yodelling; a truly unique look at a sometimes misunderstood music tradition and its bright future. From old traditionalists to young experimenters and innovators this is a film for anyone who has seen the Sound of Music and wants to sing with arms wide in celebratory abandon!

About the musical vocalists of the Swiss and Austrian Alps who come from all walks of life and their passion for the melodic quality of the human voice.

A tribute to the most primal of all instruments: the voice. The most direct expression of the human being, his feelings, and the wonderful fact that he exists.
