Station Horizon

Inspired by classic American values and freedom, this French-language comedy-drama series sees ex-con Joris Fragnière returning home to Horizonville after a 25 year absence. Station Horizon tells the story of an Americanaobsessed Swiss valley community fighting for survival against the threat of modern society. To honor his recently deceased father, Joris returns on parole to the Wild West atmosphere of Horizonville. He immediately finds himself face-to-face with demons from his past: his brother, Charly, his childhood rival, Raymond, and Latin beauty, Cheyenne. Above the Station Horizon gas station, the Valais and American flag fly side-by-side. Outside, classic American cars, pickup trucks and motorbikes gleam, while horses graze in the meadows. At night, the locals head to the neon-lit Bar 66 for poker, strippers, country music and fighting. The oddly endearing inhabitants of this strange town − a distant cousin of US Wyoming − are looking for elsewhere, but find it at home. In deciding to stay, Joris must confront his past and his future. Scoring amongst the highest ratings in the history of Swiss fiction, Station Horizon symbolizes an editorial renewal in RTS fiction series line-up.
