In the days following the surrender of Germany in May 1945, a group of young German prisoners of war is handed over to the Danish authorities and subsequently sent to the West Coast, where they are ordered to remove the more than two million mines that the Germans had placed in the sand along the coast. With their bare hands, crawling around in the sand, the boys are forced to perform the dangerous work under the leadership of a Danish sergeant.

This is an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Picture. It was an important story well told. Such a difficult time. Such brutality born of grief and hate and the unspeakable emotional toll of war. If only we will learn from pictures like this. The film writer laid out all the twists and turns of the human heart when it has faced the unfacable. If I may rephrase a George Santayana quote, If we cannot learn from the past we are condemned to repeat it. I give this film a 9 (important) out of 10.

As a polish national I find this movie very fascinating, on one side I could connect with the pain of Danish people and on the other side I was slowly looking at Germans in another light. It knows exactly when to grip you with it's tragic, tensely told and inspired by true events story. 9/10 - A master piece worth seeing.

There are myriad movies about World War II, but never have I encountered one able to generate such sympathy for German soldiers and contempt for non-Teutonic Europeans as Under Sandet does.

The film tells the story of German POWs who were ordered to clear landmines in Denmark after the war. Thes More

A Danish war-drama that was inspired by the historical account, but all the characters were fictional. Remember this title for another six month, because I am confident this film will make a journey to the west coast of the USA to compete at the 89th Academy More
