Heidi is a 2015 Swiss-German Family Adventure Film directed by Alain Gsponer and based on the 1881 novel of the same name by Johanna Spyri.
It stars Anuk Steffen in the title role, alongside Bruno Ganz, Katharina Schüttler, Quirin Agrippi, Isabelle Ottmann and Anna Schinz.
One day, Aunt Dete unexpectedly returns and tricks Heidi into running away with her to Frankfurt (practically kidnapping her) to become a companion to a young girl from an upper-class family.
The girl, Klara (Isabelle Ottmann), is unable to walk and uses a wheelchair; it is implied that she lost use of her legs after the death of her mother.
Despite Heidi showing academic improvement, Klara's grandmother notices that the girl is unhappy in Frankfurt and informs her son.
The two quickly settle back into life with each other and Alpöhi allows Heidi to attend school, purchasing a winter residence within the village.
