Overview
The heroine of this imaginative historical drama is Ursula Schnurrenberger (Suzanne Stoll), an unsophisticated and pure-hearted young peasant woman living in a cabin amongst the Swiss Alps (for proof of lack of sophistication, note the faint ‘tache naively embellishing her healthy schoolgirl complexion).
But Ursula's honest and peaceful lifestyle is doomed to end, as this is the time of the Reformation, of mad church-smashing preachers, civil war, and clothes-ripping charismatic cults. Along with her young beau Hansli Gyr (Jörg Reichlin) Ursula is dragged into the Protestant crusade against the ruling Catholic establishment. I don't know any history but I'd guess Ursula's side will probably lose the resulting Battle of Kappel (1531) – these things usually end in tears anyway.
