This Danish film reveals the controversial story of German POWs forced to clear land mines from Denmark’s beaches after World War II. The movie sticks to historical records about the young prisoners, many just teenagers, who had to defuse two million mines. Roland Møller plays the Danish sergeant whose initial hatred of his German charges gradually softens. The film’s technical details about mine removal reflect extensive research.
