Synopsis:
Set during the brutal Eastern Front campaign of World War II, the film examines the tragic dilemma of Estonia in 1944, a small nation whose men were forcibly conscripted into opposing armies. The narrative splits between the perspectives of Estonian soldiers fighting within the 20th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS, and their fellow countrymen drafted into the Soviet Army's 8th Estonian Rifle Corps. As the Tannenberg Line collapses and the Soviet forces advance, brothers, neighbors, and former friends are forced onto a collision course where they must look through the sights of their rifles at their own compatriots.
