Plaion Under the sand - The promise of freedom

May 1945. The Second World War is over, but not for a handful of young soldiers from Germany. Shortly before, they had been conscripted for Hitler's last desperate effort, the Volkssturm. They are still almost children, yet now they find themselves as prisoners of war in Denmark, assigned to a suicide mission: the clearing of a North Sea beach of 45,000 Nazi anti-tank mines. Neither trained nor equipped, and completely without technical aids, they must struggle through the sand piece by piece. Where the next mine lies, and where it will explode, is uncertain. An almost insurmountable task begins, with every step in the sand potentially being their last. The only thing that sustains their will to live is the hope for freedom.
