. The six-part series is inspired by real events that occurred in the early days of the secret services in Europe.Dominique DevenportWorld War I is ravaging Europe. By contrast, Davos, the aristocratic spa town in the Swiss Alps, seems like an oasis of peace. But behind the scenes, neutral Switzerland takes center stage in a relentless battle between the secret agents of the world powers.
Created in German and Swiss-German with English subtitles and dubbed in French and Italian, Davos is produced by Contrast Film, Letterbox Filmproduktion, Amalia Film, SRF and ARD Degeto.Alice Buquoy, senior VP international sales and acquisitions, Global Screen, comments: “We are extremely pleased to launch pre-sales of this major, big budget production ‘Davos’ at MipTV.
According to Letterbox producers Michael Lehmann and Lisa Arndt: “ ‘Davos’ certainly addresses modern day themes. The universal relevance of the material, the shocking topicality of events and the unique setting in the snow-covered Alps of the world-renowned mountain resort make the series a most extraordinary pan-European flagship project, both from a production and a content perspective.”
Contrast Film producers, Ivan Madeo and Stefan Eichenberger, add: “Set in neutral Switzerland, where in the shadows, the movers and shakers from across Europe were manipulating policies and events to benefit their own ends, ‘Davos’ delivers a new and unique insight into the First World War, and the role of Switzerland in it. It was always our goal to produce the first Swiss series that was from the very outset conceived for an international audience.
