**Directed by [Jane Campion](https://www.festival-cannes.com/en/p/jane-campion/).** Winner of the Academy Award for Best Director at the 94th Oscars in 2022. **Please RSVP on Meetup if you plan to attend! Reserve your ticket in advance at the link below. We'll meet at the entrance to the movie theater at 19:45. The screening begins at 20:15.** *Montana, in the 1920s: Here, the two very different Burbank brothers, Phil ([Benedict Cumberbatch](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1212722/?ref_=tt_cst_t_1)) and George ([Jesse Plemons](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0687146/?ref_=tt_cst_t_3)), run a profitable cattle ranch. The only problem is that they can’t stand each other—Phil is a grumpy old man, and his brother couldn’t care less about the cattle or Phil’s constant taunts. But the trouble really begins when George’s new wife Rose ([Kirsten Dunst](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000379/?ref_=tt_cst_t_2)) and her son Peter ([Kodi Smit-McPhee](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2240346/?ref_=tt_cst_t_5)) from her first marriage move in with them on the ranch.* *Jane Campion crafts a distorted mosaic of masculinity, complete with all the accompanying evils, misfortunes, and horrors. Even in the breathtaking landscape, there are signs that something is seriously amiss here. And Phil, played with verve by Cumberbatch, is a quintessential Campion character you won’t soon forget.* *Source: [Xenix](https://www.xenix.ch/programm/april-2026/the-new-new-frontier--granik-reichardt-zhao--more/the-power-of-the-dog/)* **Please [reserve your ticket online in advance](https://www.xenix.ch/programm/april-2026/the-new-new-frontier--granik-reichardt-zhao--more/the-power-of-the-dog/2026-04-19T20:15:00) to secure your spot. Seats cannot be reserved online, so we will coordinate seating arrangements at the theater before the screening. It's important to arrive early to pick up your tickets, so please arrive at Xenix by 19:45 at the latest. After the movie, we'll gather in the Xenix bar for a beverage and discussion of the film.**

**hike description:** We start at the train station Arth-Goldau. This hike is more difficult and "scarier" than the hikes we did recently. But because it is the first difficult hike of the season, I planned much more than enough time. Because a part of the hike is T4, if you want to join, you must at least have done a T3 hike before, or If you really want to join and you don't have t3 experience, you can take the parallel path without going through Rigi Hochflue (direct path between point 3 and 6 on the map), but you will probably have to wait for the rest of the group a little. As usual you need to be fit and have hiking good shoes Once we reach Gersau, it is an easy hike along the shore. We can make a break here and swim and then slowly go to Ingelbohl for the concert. https://www.komoot.com/tour/2834040563?ref=aso&share_token=aa0wR9knckHsU0dlmNXVqB3UdYfwCxl46tIwSa600UiCNIKtwE **More information about the concert** It is free but donation are welcome.

🌸 Join Us for a Spring Hike Through History and Legend! April is here, the hills are waking up, and there's no better way to celebrate the season than a fantastic day out in the fresh spring air! Come join us for a hike through one of the region's most scenic and storied landscapes — wildflowers in bloom, birdsong in the trees, and the smell of the forest after a spring shower. Pure bliss. We'll set off from Pfungen and climb up to the Multberg, the views already magnificent as the countryside shakes off winter. From there we cross over to Berenberg — where we'll explore the atmospheric ruins of the former Monastery Berenberg, a truly magical spot steeped in centuries of history. From there, we descend into charming Wülflingen and push back up through lush spring forest trails towards Töss. The highlight? Passing through the legendary Totentäli — a place wrapped in myth and mystery — now featuring a brand-new bridge over the ponds. With the spring light filtering through the trees, it promises to be simply breathtaking. We'll finish in Töss, right at the Bus 1 stop, so getting home is a breeze. 📅 Date: Sunday, April 19 📍 Meeting Point: Train Station Pfungen (Meeting Point) 🕥 Meeting Time: 10:45 AM 🏁 Estimated Return: Between 2:00 and 3:00 PM at Winterthur HB 📏 Distance: 8.6 km (feels like a 12 km hike thanks to \~300 m of elevation gain) 🚆 Getting There — take the S41 (direction Bülach): • From Winterthur HB: depart 10:36 AM → arrive Pfungen 10:45 AM • From Winterthur Töss: depart 10:39 AM → arrive Pfungen 10:45 AM ✅ What to bring: • Sturdy hiking boots • Plenty of water • Snacks to keep your energy up along the way Whether you're a seasoned hiker or simply ready to shake off the last of winter — this is the perfect spring adventure. Come join us! 🌿

Joins us for a 3 mile hike this Friday evening along the beautiful Alum Creek Trail. This fully paved trail is pretty flat and winds along Alum Creek. We will travel 1.5 miles south along the trail to a scenic bridge before turning around. Hope to see you Friday!

Over time I'm hoping to organize a hike to all the Franklin County Metro Parks. This is the first one so if you're interested jump in! We'll start with the Canopy Walk, a cool feature of this park. Climb 100 stairs to the top - or take the elevator if stairs aren't your thing. At the top there are a bunch of things to play on - a rope bridge, a fireman pole that we can slide down - and more! About fifteen minutes there and we'll head to the natural trail, Buttonbush, Maple and Beech Trail for 2.2 miles then do a 1.7 mile loop on the paved Greenway Trail. We'll be passing our cars as we transition if you only want to do the first loop, or the second loop. Pace of around 3.5 mph but no one left behind. If there is an interest we can grab lunch nearby afterward.

Let’s walk the gardens and enjoy what has spring has on display.
