Füsilier Wipf is a Swiss feature film by Leopold Lindtberg and Hermann Haller from 1938 , based on the novel of the same name by Robert Faesi . It is a key film in national intellectual defense .
“Füsilier Wipf is the cinematic adaptation of a literary novella set in the beautiful Swiss mountains from 1914-1918. What you see here is neither a military nor a war film.
The episodes from the civil and military life of a young Swiss man pass in a serious and cheerful way and condense into a captivating plot in which, of course, the hero's romantic love experience is not missing. The magnificent mountain giants of the impressive alpine world form the plastic background to the varied film events "
action
On August 1, 1914, customers in the hairdressing salon of Coiffeurmeister Wiederkehr - including the notary and the butcher - discussed the mobilization of Germany, Belgium and Russia. The Swiss army is also mobilized and the hairdresser, Reinhold Wipf, is called up to guard the border. He does in the Valais mountains, the lakes of Ticino and in the Jurassic forests active duty and in that time is out of the awkward, inexperienced and somewhat effeminate boys a soldier who earns the respect of comrades and superiors. Military service also separates him from Rosa Wiederkehr, the somewhat affected daughter of his teacher - for which he finds his great love in the down-to-earth Vreneli.
