A Hidden Life

Franz Jägerstätter, an Austrian farmer, finds himself in a profound moral dilemma as World War II engulfs Europe. With the Nazi regime imposing conscription on its occupied territories, Franz is expected to fight and support the cause, even though his conscience refuses to align with the tyranny of Hitler's forces. The weight of this decision not only affects his life but also that of his wife and children, as their small rural community grapples with the harsh realities of war and loyalty. Through this gripping historical drama, we witness how a simple farmer's unyielding principles ultimately lead him to face the grim prospect of execution. This poignant portrayal of one man's courage in the face of adversity offers a thought-provoking reflection on the power of individual conviction amidst overwhelming external pressures.
