15 portraits of Swiss women who immigrated to the United States in the 20th century. They hailed from different Swiss cantons, came from varied familial and occupational backgrounds, and are living in different states of the USA, while two of them have returned to Switzerland. They tell of their varied experiences at home and abroad, of joys and crises, of the possibilities and limitations of life, of desires, homesickness, and new bonds.
