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 drafted into Hitler's last resort, the Volkssturm. They are still almost children, yet now they are prisoners of war in Denmark and 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, where it will explode, is uncertain. An almost insurmountable task begins, every step in the sand could be the last. The only thing that sustains their will to live is the hope for freedom.
