This is 'Mad Heidi', when the beatific shepherd girl is already an anti-fascist warrior

The action film, a fun and wacky digression on the children's classic, opens in Spain on November 24, and stars Casper Van Dien as the villain


He no longer happily sings along the Swiss slopes of the Alps.

The fault lies with a dictator, who has conquered power in his country and wants to impose a new world order.

How will he do it?

With manipulated cheese.

Will he make it?

It doesn't seem possible, because part of the Swiss people have rebelled against him, led by a shepherdess, Heidi, who has learned to fight thanks to some ninja nuns.

This is

Mad Heidi,

of which EL PAÍS premieres its Spanish trailer, the freak phenomenon of the season, a film shot in the purest spirit of

exploitation

.

After starting with a crowdfunding campaign that raised two million euros,

Mad Heidi

It has become the success of European horror and fantastic film competitions, and it opens in Spain on November 24.

And beyond unknown names in direction and production, he hides one of his best assets in the actor who brings President Meili to life: the prolific Casper Van Dien, for a few seconds a Hollywood star with

Starship Troopers, Sleepy Hollow

and

Tarzan .

, king of the jungle.

In this Switzerland, chocolate is used to torture and there is little trace of the protagonist of the novel by the Swiss Johanna Spyri, glory of the letters of her country in the 19th century, and who turned to Heidi (pronounced Aídi), diminutive of Adelaida , some of his childhood experiences.

Almost all the imagery that we associate with Heidi—the

Blanquita, Snowflake

or

Diana goats,

the St. Bernard

Niebla,

the billy goat

El Gran Turk

—actually comes from the 1974

anime

series , and does not appear as such in the novel. —which he wrote in 1870 for his son and originally published in two parts a decade later—by Spyri.

Mad Heidi

bets more on the tribute to

Kill Bill,

to movies with zombie Nazis or with the army of the Third Reich crouched on the dark side of the Moon, and ultimately for the pleasure of the fights for the fights.

And, by the way, at the end of the footage a second part is announced:

Heidi & Klara.
