Swiss Miss

In the rolling foothills of the Swiss Alps, a pair of earnest entrepreneurs arrives with a singular conviction: the nation’s famed cheese must draw a legion of mice, and with them, a hungry market for their modest wares. The scenery is a postcard of alpine charm—snow‑capped peaks, wooden chalets, and narrow lanes that echo with the distant clang of cowbells—setting the stage for a comedy that feels as breezy as the mountain air.

Stan and Ollie are the heart of the venture, a duo whose contrasting personalities generate constant, good‑natured friction. Stan’s childlike optimism and slap‑dash enthusiasm clash delightfully with Ollie’s pragmatic yet equally bumbling attempts to keep things on track. Their rapport is a study in classic partnership comedy, each misstep sparking a fresh bout of visual gags as they navigate language barriers, unfamiliar customs, and the sheer logistics of selling mousetraps in a place where mice are more myth than menace.

Beyond the sales pitch, the village teems with colorfully eccentric locals who provide a vibrant backdrop to the duo’s schemes. An exacting inn kitchen overseen by a stern chef, Adia, adds culinary pressure to the mix, while a lofty composer named Victor rehearses grandiose melodies that drift through the streets, his devoted assistant Edward ever‑present at his side. The composer’s wife, Anna, moves through the same corridors, her quiet determination hinting at deeper currents beneath the surface of everyday life.

The tone remains light‑hearted and kinetic, each scene a cascade of pratfalls, mistaken identities, and musical mishaps that blend the rustic charm of the Alps with the timeless rhythm of slapstick. The film invites the audience to wander alongside the protagonists, feeling the dizzying mix of hopeful ambition and chaotic circumstance, all underscored by a whimsical score that mirrors the unpredictable yet endearing journey of two salesmen far from home.
