Storyline
| Plot Summary |
In post-World War II Denmark, the Danish government puts their hated German prisoners of war to work clearing the 1.5 million landmines from the western beaches of the country. At one such beach, Sgt. Carl Leopold Rasmussen finds himself in charge of one such labor unit and finds they are largely all inexperienced boys. As the boys struggle to complete and survive their dangerous work, Sgt. Rasmussen's hate for Germans gradually cools as he grows to understand the horrific situation these child soldiers are in even as the mines claim more and more victims.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The actors were trained in mine clearance 'anno 1945' at the Military Training Compound 'Oksbøl.' During training, they found a 'live' mine that had been there for 70+ years--and it was in fine working condition. The mine was removed and disarmed by the Danish de-mining experts. See more » |
| Goofs | They are mainly clearing Anti-Tank mines, and indeed mention this in the dialogue. However, Anti-Tank mines are designed to not be triggered by a person's weight, so troops can cross them without them going off--so that they are still in place and active when armored vehicles in support of the troops ultimately cross the same path as the troops. Anti-Tank mines need several tons of pressure to activate. In the film, they are treated like eggshells. See more » |
