Das Boot
In 1941, a German U-boat undertakes a dangerous mission from La Rochelle to Spain and back.
The Captain, a sensitive man hardened by the responsibility of too many underwater missions, must command and inspire his crew while trying to carry out nearly impossible orders.
The Correspondent, a pink-cheeked newcomer, will face more tragedy and horror than he can ever imagine.
