Sinopsis(1)
Three British soldiers are caught behind enemy lines in the closing days of the Word War II. Hemmings, Bell, and Beckley are the men who wait in a burned-out building for their sergeant's arrival. Hemmings is a pacifist, Bell is the oldest and most experienced, and Beckley is a war-loving sadist. They capture a German officer, Dobie, who tricks them into letting him live, and set out to find their sergeant, only to discover his throat slit. They spend the night in a farm house before heading back to their own lines and get into a skirmish with a German patrol. Beckley is killed, and so are the Germans. The remaining two men and their prisoner continue to the British lines... (texto oficial de la distribuidora)

Very brief and low-key, but still one of the best war films I've had the pleasure of seeing. A slow and detailed narrative, with a precise internal depiction of each character, excellent authentic production design and above all a strong and appealing message that just knocks on the door for a long time until it literally blows it to pieces in the last minutes. Definitely the pinnacle of the genre – if nothing else, this should be mandatory in schools. 95%
