Franka Potente stars in this made-for-TV remake of the classic 1959 German war film, which in turn is based on the autobiographicaI novel by Manfred Gregor. 16-year-old WaIter (Lars Steinhofel) is having a secret affair with his widowed 29-year-old teacher Elfie (Potente). When Hitler's army begins mobiIising its Iast troops, Walter and his friends are recruited to heIp defend a strategically important bridge near their town. What begins as a relatively minor operation quickly descends into a life or death battIe in which the ideaIistic young men are confronted by the brutal reality of war. Despite EIfie's desperate attempts to stop her Iover from taking part in a battle she can see is useless and unwinnabIe, Walter's pride and bIind obedience to Hitler compel him and his friends to hoId their position even as the Iast of their superiors concede defeat. |
