Short description

Based on a true story. On 27 April 1940, Luftwaffe pilot Horst Schopis' Heinkel 111 bomber is shot down near Grotli by an RAF Blackburn Skua L2940 fighter, which then crash-lands. The surviving German and English crew members begin to shoot at each other, but later find themselves huddled up in the same cabin. In order to survive the harsh winter in the Norwegian wilderness, they have to stand together. An unlikely, lifelong friendship blossoms.

What's left behind the scenes

The film is based on real events. The names of the German pilots were preserved, while the British ones were changed. The real names of the British pilots were Captain R.T. Partridge (in the film Davenport) and R.S. Bostok (in the film Smith).
Filming took place in Norway in the locality of Grotli and on Mount Dalsnibba, as well as in the Swedish towns of Trollhättan and Brålanda.
Davenport mentions that, in accordance with the Geneva Conventions, they (as prisoners of war) are entitled to certain amenities in their accommodation. The Fourth Geneva Convention was proclaimed only in 1949, after the end of the war, and no state officially ratified its acceptance of any of the four Geneva Conventions before that year.
German pilots did not have Parabellum pistols as personal weapons. They used Walthers or Mausers, as they were smaller and more convenient.
