The film follows the lives of a simple Austrian farming family during the Nazi occupation. Franz Jägerstätter can no longer participate in the encroaching evil and makes choices that incur the wrath of the regime and the villagers who feel judged by the family’s choices.
Malik gets his title, A Hidden Life, from George Eliot’s Middlemarch that urges the reader to understand that “the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistorical 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.”
It seems that this is the life we are called to, living a faithful and hidden life.
