Tanner

Set in Switzerland during World War II, Tanner tells the story of a mountain farmer who refuses to comply with government mandates to increase agricultural production. Despite pressure from the authorities and his fellow villagers, he maintains his stance against cultivating the steep mountain pastures, believing they are unsuitable for farming.

The narrative addresses themes of individual conviction and community dynamics amidst wartime policies. As the farmer's resistance leads to personal consequences, including the confiscation of his hay and his wife's inability to shop at the local store, the film presents a compelling portrait of rural life during a tumultuous period.

Tanner is available to collectors on DVD, making it accessible for those interested in historical dramas that reflect on societal issues. The film's runtime is 107 minutes, providing a thorough exploration of its themes and character development.
