Tell

Theatrical feature, 96 Min.
2007

Switzerland's national hero Wilhelm Tell actually was not Swiss and he was far from a hero. He was a scoundrel that travelled the Swiss countryside selling a phoney medication guaranteed to make old women grow younger. Unfortunately, all they grew were beards... His angry customers chase Tell directly into the arms of the Swiss freedom fighters, who make him a generous offer – if he journeys to the arrogant Austrians' castle fortress and destroys their defences, Tell's sins will be forgiven... and he'll receive a genuine Swiss passport to boot.
