Autumn 1944; a young soldier named Karl Franke has been shipped to Courland and must prove himself to his fellow soldiers in his first mission.

This is a story of a young soldier, Willi Langner, who, with World War II coming to an end, refuses to sacrifice himself for the madness of national socialism. But he is trapped in a bunker that he must defend from the Soviets together with a colleague and a commander who is loyal to the regime. His life will depend on his decisions.
