Rehashing and providing additional commentary
to the 16mm footage from the estate of amateur
filmmaker Harald von Vietinghoff-Riesch, the director
compresses the horses of the Wehrmacht and the
civilians fleeing from it into a picture of war. Part
of P.O.V. (Point of View), a project by Clemens von
Wedemeyer, the film examines the subjective view of
the cameraman behind the front line.
