In the wake of the Second World War, the Danish authorities force thousands of German prisoners of war to defuse the millions of mines buried on Danish beaches.
Last week I saw the 2016 edition of "The Diary Of Anne Frank", which is probably the best-known story about WWII (still a good film, BTW). "Under sandet" takes on one of those gazillion stories of the era which hardly anyone has heard about. During the war, the Germans laid a record number of mines on the Danish Western shore. After the war, the Danes had the fairly obvious idea of letting German POWs clear those mines.
The movie shows what must be a battle-hardened elite Danish soldier (I assume -- the movie never tells us anything about him except that he's fond of his dog) leading a small assignment of German soldiers in cleaning beaches. As it turns out, the supposed "supermen" are boys in uniform. Inevitably, defusions go wrong, sh*t gets blown up, and our tough-as-nails Sergeant eventually grows fond of the boys.
