Happy Thanksgiving, Americans! Be grateful you're not clearing a beach full of land mines!
In 1945 Denmark, German prisoners of war are assigned to clear the thousands of landmines they laid on beaches. Sgt. Rasmussen (Roland Møller) is given a squad of ten POWs, all of them teenaged boys.
Yeah, this movie is pretty much exactly what it says on the tin. Schoolboys conscripted when Germany knew it had already lost, left behind to bear the brunt of the ire of the invaded. It's, uh, not a fun watch but it is really engrossing.
Don't actually watch this on Thanksgiving. Maybe give yourself a couple of days. Or do. Fuck it, I don't know your life. It's streaming on Amazon Prime.
