What do a female farmer who is active in the EU Parliament, an astronomer, a restaurateur, and a female mayor from Saxony have in common? At first glance, perhaps not much. In her film „Landretter,“ director Gesa Hollerbach proves the exact opposite.

In Seifenhennersdorf in Saxony, the school must be saved, in Großmugl in Austria, light pollution is looming, and in Leutkirch im Allgäu, the fight is on against land grabbing. A female farmer, an astronomer, a restaurateur, and a female mayor are deeply connected to their homeland and want to save it. And to do so, they are choosing unusual paths. In short: they are „country saviors.“.

The unexcited documentary shows people who can be described as crazy or daring, but above all as courageous.

In the end, the viewer understands: the change has already begun. It starts with people who fearlessly conceive of changes and then implement them, who defy authorities and keep going tirelessly. A film about courage and the responsibility of citizens.
