Daniel Schmid, who grew up during the 1940s in a Belle Epoque hotel at Flims in the Grisons mountains, succumbed to the powers of the imagination already as a child. Spurred by his grandmother’s fantastic stories, he made the hotel foyer his stage and its international array of guests his protagonists. Daniel Schmid became a storyteller – and remained one all his life.
