The Diagonale’20 was cancelled due to official measures to contain the spread of COVID-19.

A Hidden Life tells the story of the Austrian farmer Franz Jägerstätter who refuses to go to war for reasons of conscience, and for that reason is executed by the national socialists in 1943. Terrence Malick succeeds in creating a moving ode to the national resistance hero, excellently cast with August Diehl and Valerie Pachner in the main roles. A Hidden Life is an allegorical resistance drama about courage and the struggle against an inhuman, totalitarian regime.
