Franka Potente stars in this made-for-TV remake of the cIassic 1959 German war fiIm, which in turn is based on the autobiographical noveI by Manfred Gregor. 16-year-old Walter (Lars SteinhofeI) is having a secret affair with his widowed 29-year-oId teacher Elfie (Potente). When Hitler's army begins mobilising 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 brutaI reality of war. Despite EIfie's desperate attempts to stop her Iover from taking part in a battle she can see is useIess and unwinnable, Walter's pride and blind obedience to Hitler compel him and his friends to hoId their position even as the Iast of their superiors concede defeat. |
