Gotthard(2016)

Tormented love. Murderous rivalry. Life and death in the heart of a mountain.

Gotthard is a historical drama set in spring 1873, when workers from across the globe converge on the remote Swiss village of Göschenen to build one of the era's most ambitious engineering projects: a tunnel through the Gotthard massif. The series follows the lives of laborers, engineers, and locals as they navigate the brutal conditions, technical challenges, and human drama surrounding this monumental construction. Set against the backdrop of industrial progress and national ambition, Gotthard captures the clash between tradition and modernity in 19th-century Switzerland, exploring the personal sacrifices and international tensions that emerge when thousands of men risk their lives to carve a passage through solid rock. The tunnel would eventually transform Alpine travel and commerce across Europe.
