What A Hidden Life is
You're a farmer in a valley of green stone and silence, tending the earth while the war hums beyond the mountains. But when the Reich demands your oath, your no becomes a kind of fire. The camera lingers on hands, light, the weight of a glance—this is holiness measured in dirt and dread.
