Lydia – Aufzeichnungen aus dem Irrenhaus (2026)
She was a prisoner in the corset of social constraints and conventions – and at the same time she fought for a self-determined life as a woman – Lydia Welti-Escher, the daughter of politician and business leader Alfred Escher. Due to an extramarital liaison, the Swiss authorities had her committed to a psychiatric ward.
