Fireplace at the touch of a button on Christmas Eve The best Swiss open fire of all time

Slow TV has never been more beautiful, never been warmer and never been more Swiss. Director Michael Steiner is staging the remake of a classic on Christmas Eve from 6 pm: a roaring open fire. This year, the music will be accompanied by a wonderful lounge mix.

The successful Swiss director Michael Steiner is considered an eccentric and was therefore a good choice for a project that has also proven itself on television internationally over many years: The Fire on Empty TV program, which will burn on blue Zoom on 24 December from 6 pm.

Steiner originally created "Füürabig" especially for Swisscom. He made some preparations for it.
