Switzerland's long-held fairy-tale image has taken a beating in recent
years; first they cop some flack for running off with Holocaust survivors'
life savings and
killing third-world
babies to maximise profits, and now a new film has presented their national
icon, the flaxen-haired orphan Heidi, as
a blue-haired punk who steals fruit and dodges fares. As expected, the traditionalists are up in arms.
