Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Danish resistance fighters at the end of World War II. A captive German officer escapes prison and is led into a trap in the forest by a Danish woman - she believes he was responsible for blinding a teenager, and she stabs his eyes through with a wooden blade. He is left to crawl in the very woods where as a child, he had tried to converse with the birds. Written by Ulf Kjell Gür |
