Der grosse Sommer

Der grosse Sommer (2016)

His last big journey took him from Stein am Rhein to faraway Japan. Theo Plakoudakis and Marco Salituro had developed the script especially for Mathias Gnädinger. And so the popular actor filled the role of "Big Summer" with a lot of heart: The former wrestling king Anton Sommer is forced by the ten-year-old boy Hiro to accompany him to Japan. Hiro wants to become a sumo wrestler like his father. Zurich-based Stefan Jäger has staged a modern fairy tale that becomes an endearing homage to Mathias Gnädinger. He died on Good Friday 2015.

Curiosidades

Der grosse Sommer is a Swiss-German language comedy film that was released in Switzerland on 28 January 2016. Produced partly in Japan, it is the last film to star Mathias Gnädinger.

Production

The film's production in Japan was documented by 10vor10. Gnädiger was fascinated by the old Japanese traditions and his ten-year-old co-star Loïc Sho of Swiss-Japanese ancestry. Gnädinger was told to get in touch with the Swiss wrestling (Schwingen) just one time as a boy. Ursula Gnädinger assisted her husband on the production as make-up artist. Gnädinger's son, Gilles, played Sommer as a young man.

Following the completion of filming in Switzerland and Japan in autumn 2014, Mathias Gnädinger died on 3 April 2015. While post production work had not yet finished, Tellfilm decided to move up the film's release from 2016 to (late) summer 2015. After being delayed for several months, the film was released in Switzerland on 28 January 2016. The script was based on two intense research trips to Japan.
