Second world war, winter 1940, Norway. A British and a German fighter plane shoot each other down. The survivors, 2 British soldiers and 3 Germans, find their way through the snow and end up at the same abandoned hunting cabin. Together they have to have to find ways to survive until the weather gets better and there is a chance for rescue.

Director Petter Næss (Elling, Hoppet) has brought a chamber play to the screen that viewers will remember for a while. The movie is based on a true story yet expands it, because in real life the meeting of the enemies did not last longer than one day. This narrative trick gives room for the characters to develop, shows how they change over time. The enemies, who only work together because they have to and initially have trouble even being civil to each other, learn to respect, even appreciate each other. Towards the end of the movie, the German Feldwebel Wolfgang Strunk tells the British Gunner Robert Smith „It´s about time we get home, I am starting to like you.“ The viewers realize by then that they too have started to like these people.

The actors do a great job, most of all Florian Lukas as Leutnant Horst Schopis and Lachian Nieboer as Captain Charles P. Davenport. They make the characters believable. Their fears and their attitudes can be seen, it´s easy to imagine how the men in the cabin feel. The film has dramatic moments as well as some comic relief. The tightrope walk between mistrust and blossoming friendship is perfect, the emotions always seem real. Overall the movie shows that human beings fought this war, no matter what ideology they were fighting about. Highly recommended.
