Romance with Amelie (1982)

Overview: The time is World War II and Juergen Siebusch and his mother are retreating along with the German army just ahead of the invading Russian forces. Both mother and son hole up in the town of Hohengoerse where Juergen finds some work watching over sheep - and learns a bit about the facts of sheep life that he extrapolates to some advantage when he meets the appealing Amelie daughter of the landowner. He first helps Amelie out and later applies his new-found knowledge in a barn appropriately enough. As the Red Army draws near Juergen deserts a hastily put-together "people's force " as he prefers the barn to the gun. Russian soldiers are shown sleeping and snoring next to their tanks and the local fascist executed - the war is over. When the new Communist government sets up a land reform package Amelie's mother's land gets divided up into small plots for small farmers.
