A Danish sergeant major leads 14 German teenage prisoners of war to demining a beach. The sergeant major promised they would go home when the mines were cleared. Supported by the belief of returning home, the boys can overcome loneliness, hunger, accidental bombing, temptation to escape, and despair. In the end, only 4 of the 14 people are left. During the demining process, the sergeant and the children had an emotional connection, and they trusted him despite his strict demands on them.
After the beach demining was over, out of hatred for the Germans, the sergeant major's superiors sent the 4 teenagers to other demining areas to continue demining. The sergeant major finally took the 4 children to the border and let them flee across the border to Germany.
See how I feel:
1. Faith and hope can bring people infinite strength, and the belief that they can go home after clearing the mines enables children to persevere.
2. Despair can lead people to death, such as the twin brother's initiative to commit suicide.
3. The kindness of human nature will never be extinguished. Facing the once hostile German children, the sergeant gradually accepted them as his own children.
