On the west coast of Denmark, the blue waters are endless and the golden sandy beaches are quiet and serene. The Nazis were defeated and the war was over. The hatred in people's hearts has not dissipated, just like millions of landmines are still hidden under the long sandy beach. Danish officer Karl has just experienced this war, and he may have seen his relatives, friends and soldiers killed by the Germans, so he hated the Germans even more. Seeing some of the German prisoners holding the Danish flag, he was so angry that he smashed the opponent's face with his fist. Hearing the young German boy in the demining team apologise to him, he slaps him in the face. He didn't want to hear "sorry" from the Germans. Their crimes should not be forgiven even with countless apologies. Young boys lay on the beach during the day, clearing the mines beneath the sand, pushing forward inch by inch. Lying on a plank bed with hay at night and even thinking "it's not that bad here". Because there is still hope. Most of them believe that as long as the demining task is completed, they can go home. Ah, Germany. There's beer and girls, a factory with my father's friends, a future construction worker, a company named after myself and my son, and my mates to feast on mashed potatoes, sausages and bouillon... The cruel thing is, Slowly they will understand that going home is just a good fantasy. However, these are all their hopes for survival. Officer Carl's hatred of Germany turned into callousness towards the boys. until William's death. When he heard the news of William's death from the female nurse, he was sad for a moment, but immediately restrained. On the way back, sneak a basket of food from the kitchen. The cars kicked up the dust on the winding road in the twilight, like a hazy mist, like a thin cloud. Officer Carl told the boys that William was recovering well and was sent home. He began to sympathize with the boys and wanted to give them hope that they would try to survive. The hatred inside began to melt. But his superiors did not, nor did the peasant woman next to him. The most touching thing in the film is probably the brotherhood of the twin brothers. The younger brother Werner had an accident and his body was shattered by a series of landmines. The older brother rushed over, shouted his brother's name, and frantically searched for his brother's body, but couldn't find even a section of the body, as if the younger brother disappeared with a loud noise. My brother has a nervous breakdown. Even with the sedatives, he still struggles to get up to find his brother; murmuring in confusion, "I can't sleep without him". My eyes are wet. The officer's eyes were also wet. In the afterglow of the sunset, the officer and the boy Schumann sat side by side, letting go of their guards and revealing their hearts. The boy "pranked" him and made them both laugh, just like the boy and his father in the past. The pictures of their smiles are so warm and tear-jerking. I always feel that there is an indescribable beauty in looking down at the picture of four boys running and playing on the beach from the sky. Maybe because this is what they look like at their age, the natural look. It's what God wants to see. The carefree time taken away by the war seems to be gently bestowed at this moment. Soccer games on the beach, running competitions on the beach, laughter from officers and boys, and a cloudy sky over the blue sea. These ordinary beauties are like being in heaven to them. I really want this moment to freeze forever. However, good times are always short-lived. The officer's pet dog accidentally stepped on a landmine, and the brief atmosphere of joy came to an abrupt end. The twin brother was alone from then on, and he didn't even want to share everyone's joys, as if those joys would stab him. The peasant woman's daughter is only a few years old, and she still does not understand her mother's suspicion and hatred of these brothers. But when the peasant woman cried and asked the boys to help her save her daughter, the boys rushed to the beach without any hesitation. Only the twin brother lay still on the bed, silently accompanying the little field mouse beside him, thoughtful. Later, he walked into the minefield casually and walked straight to the little girl, as if he had forgotten that the beach under his feet was covered with mines. He wants to save the little girl. The ignorant little girl was holding the rag doll that he had helped to bandage the "wound". Like a brother taking care of a little sister at home, he played with her and told her his thoughts about his brother. The little girl couldn't speak, and touched his hand as if to comfort him. He looked up and smiled. When he turned around resolutely, he walked step by step into the sandy beach covered with mines. Everyone was stunned. What is scarier than death? It is to lose the slightest nostalgia for life. Later, another accident happened, and the mines of the whole vehicle were accidentally detonated, and the fire was soaring into the sky. The last four boys and officers ran desperately to the spot where the smoke was rising, black scorched earth and burning vegetation, "just hell". After the demining task was completed, Officer Carl asked his superiors to let the boys go home as agreed, only to find that the superiors had lied to him from the beginning. They never thought of letting the German captives go back alive, but wanted them to "die like flies". The officer decided to defy the order and sent the four boys home in person. Officers watched the four boys from a distance as they raced towards the German border. Schumann stopped halfway and turned around, as if to say goodbye to this "enemy" like his father. There are black forests and white clouds on the borderline in the twilight. There is home and hope. There are black forests and white clouds on the borderline in the twilight. There is home and hope. There are black forests and white clouds on the borderline in the twilight. There is home and hope.
