Het Grote Offensief

Lieutenant Jan de Vries receives orders to hold the bridge at all costs. His company — a handful of exhausted soldiers who have been retreating under German pressure for a week. Jan studies the map where enemy red arrows encircle their position. He realizes this isn't just defense; it's the last chance to save retreating units. Together with Sergeant Van Dijk, a World War I veteran, they try to maintain discipline among demoralized troops. This 2025 drama portrays war not through grand battles but through the quiet horror of waiting. Every hour at the position becomes a test of endurance, where fear and duty wage a constant war within the soldiers' souls. The story is based on real events in the Netherlands, May 1940.
