From 1999 to 2007, the Swiss TV soap opera "Lüthi und Blanc" was a regular feature on Swiss television's Sunday evening programme. It reached an average of over 650,000 viewers.
The cast of the series reads like a who's who of Swiss film and television celebrities: first and foremost the internationally renowned Hans Heinz Moser in the role of Jean-Jacques Blanc. Also appearing are: Isabelle von Siebenthal, Hans Schenker, Tonia Maria Zindel, Renate Steiger, Linda Geiser, Hanspeter Müller-Drossaart, Gilles Tschudi, Esther Gemsch, Roeland Wiesneeker, Mathias Gnädigner, Viola Tami and many more.
They argue, they lie and they love each other. "Lüthi und Blanc" tells family stories from a Switzerland, whose regions and people do not seal themselves off from each other, but live together... and this not primarily because they love each other dearly, but because living together is a daily reality for them.
