The Bridge
Boys and Girls Dream of love,Manhood and Womanhood to DIscover a World of Violence !
Directed by Bernhard Wicki
Produced by Fono Film, Taurus Produktion
A bleak anti-war tragedy following idealistic German boys ordered to defend a meaningless bridge as the Third Reich collapses, exploring the collision between youthful fervor and the brutal reality of war.
A group of German boys are ordered to protect a small bridge in their home village during the waning months of the second world war. Truckloads of defeated, cynical Wehrmacht soldiers flee the approaching American troops, but the boys, full of enthusiasm for the "blood and honor" Nazi ideology, stay to defend the useless bridge. The film is based on a West German anti-war novel of the same name, written by Gregor Dorfmeister.
