The Second World War ended on September 2, 1945, when China, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, the United States and other anti-fascist countries defeated the fascist invaders and won world peace and progress. After the victory, the shadow shrouded by the war on the world map will not fade away for a long time. The bloodstains left by the fangs of war are still bloody and shocking.
This Danish-German film, based on real-life events in World War II, recreates one of the countless scars left after World War II.
On the west coast of Denmark, there are endless white sandy beaches, the sand is as soft as a girl's skin. A group of childish German teenagers stood by the beach, looking at the blue and transparent waters like their pupils in the distance. If it weren't for the eye-catching military uniforms on their bodies, all this would have been beautiful like a painting.
These juveniles with clear water chestnuts are German prisoners of war supervised by the Danish authorities after the end of World War II. Their task is to dig out more than 1.5 million mines set by the German army under this beach during the war with their bare hands. Danish officer Karl is responsible for supervising their demining. Work.
The evil consequences of the war have severed the emotional ties among the people of the world, leaving behind an indelible national hatred. What is even more terrifying is that this kind of hatred is rooted in the depths of human nature and will last from generation to generation. When Carl first saw the helpless German teenagers, the hatred in his heart evolved into extreme violence, as if he no longer regarded them as human beings. That's war, and it's easy to build hatred between strangers.
Most of the time in the movie is quiet, blue sea, white sandy beach, and German teenagers crouching on the beach to clear mines. The long period of silence made the scalp tingle and the fear penetrated deep into the bone marrow. Every second you see may be the last picture of the teenagers in this world, and every blink of an eye is extremely dangerous.
After the roaring explosion, the blue pupils dilated slightly, either in panic or despair, and watched his friend disappear in front of his eyes. The body of flesh and blood disappeared in an instant, and it was blasted into tiny particles, leaving only the residue that was indistinguishable to the naked eye melted into the dazzling white sand, and the air was filled with a thick smell of blood.
The surviving teenagers can only continue to use their hands to push away the sand, close to the weapon of death, pray that their hands will not tremble, and sweat will not blur their eyes, the slightest mistake will fry themselves into flesh and be buried forever in this far away. on the beach at home.
The explosions gradually disintegrated Ricard's hatred, and he realized that these teenagers were just victims of cruel wars. In their blue pupils, they are full of the desire to return to their hometown and the desire for survival instinct. They are not the devil, but the one who caused the war.
Carl looked the teenagers directly in the eyes, and the idea of helping them return to their homes became more and more determined. When the surviving teenager ran to the distant woods and looked back at Carl, the pain left by the war was comforted for a moment.
After World War II, more than 2,000 German prisoners of war cleared more than 1.5 million landmines off the west coast of Denmark. Almost half were killed or injured, many of them very young boys.
Peace is precious to you and to me.
