The Danish sergeant Carl Leopold is responsible for a group of young German prisoners of war. The German boys are sent to the Danish west coast to defuse mines Nazis dug into the sand during World War II. Carl nourishes an intense hatred towards Germany and Germans after the war, and the boys suffers. The film is very poignant and brutal. There were several scenes that were tough to watch, this is a film that is difficult to take in right away. The story is strong and the story evolves dramatically. The psychological strain is something we as viewers are drawn into. One of the best things about this film is the wonderful actors, especially the young soldiers' suffering is conveyed in a convincing manner. This is a film you will not forget so easily. One of the year's best.
