Imagine the task of Sisyphus compounded with an explosive boulder and an illusory end-in-sight and you've got this drama about German boy soldiers retained in Denmark at the end of World War II, tasked with defusing 1.5 million landmines: a powder keg of a story threatening at every second to explode, made only slightly less thankless by the presence of Roland Moller as Sergeant Carl Rasmussen, the overseer of the work who grows ever more sympathetic towards the plight of his young charges, which is one small improvement upon Sisyphus.
