Bis dass der Tod euch scheidet (2020)

What should have been the happiest day of their lives turns into a disaster. October 12, 1944: wedding guests are celebrating on Lake Lucerne when their boat collides with a transport barge. It's a shipwreck and twenty people lose their lives. In the small village of Escholzmatt, 14 children become orphans. This third episode of the SRF docu-fiction series "Es geschah am..." looks back on this tragic event and gives a voice to those who lived through the events - survivors, orphans or close family. The fictional part depicts the life of the couple before marriage, the shipwreck and the mourning work of the whole village to overcome this trauma.
