    Storyline

    Edit
    Based on real events, A Hidden Life is the story of an unsung hero, Bl. Franz Jägerstätter, who refused to fight for the Nazis in World War II. When the Austrian peasant farmer is faced with the threat of execution for treason, it is his unwavering faith and his love for his wife, Fani, and children that keeps his spirit alive. —Anonymous

    • Quotes

      Closing Title Card: ...the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs. -George Eliot

    • Crazy credits
      The title card at the end of the picture comes from the final sentence of George Eliot's "Middlemarch".

    Outstanding
    The tough choices we have to make in life is well portrayed and beautifully photographed in this absorbing drama. August Diehl and Valerie Pachner are outstanding in their roles.
