A remake of the 1937 film about National Socialist soldiers, in which the plot is transferred from the First World War to the Second: shortly before the end of the war, a young lieutenant Pretorius is ordered to send a reserve regiment to the front. Home leave was denied. As they pass through Berlin, Pretorius nevertheless gives the soldiers based here six hours of vacation, which the men use in different ways. Eventually, all resist the temptation to desert and return to the regiment in full strength. close

In this melodrama about love in wartime, Angela (Ida-Lotta Backman) is a Finnish nurse in Lapland who begins a torrid affair with Thomas Schmidt (Mathieu Carriere), a wounded German army captain. Their love for each other is verboten in Finland, where the Germans occupy northern Lapland until the end of the war. Finland had formed a brief alliance with Germany to fight an invading Russia in the winter of 1939, but when the Russians won that battle and took more than 16,000 square miles of land away from Finland, it was too late to successfully rout the Germans from Finnish soil. So for the entire war, the Finns were fighting Germany on their own national territory -- which makes the love affair between a Finnish nurse and German soldier a very complex issue. While Angela receives different reactions from her friends, acquaintances, and relatives, she continues on with her love for the German, against odds which are greater as time goes by. close
