About Holzers Peepshow (2005) — A Swiss Farm Family's Desperate Comedy of Errors
In *Holzers Peepshow* (2005), the Holzer farming family faces financial ruin and dwindling tourism when buses leave their rustic village with nothing but litter. Turning desperation into invention, they transform their home into an unconventional tourist attraction: a living-room peep show where curious visitors pay to witness—quite literally—their everyday lives.
