Kirmes

Beim Aufbau eines Karussells für die Kirmes in einem Eifeldorf wird 15 Jahre nach dem Krieg ein menschliches Skelett gefunden. Mit Wehrmachtshelm und Maschinenpistole weckt es Erinnerungen an die letzten Kriegstage - und die düstere Vergangenheit des kleinen Dorfes: Kurz vor dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs suchte der junge Deserteur Robert Mertens Zuflucht bei seinen Eltern in seinem Heimatdorf. Aus Angst vor dem Ortsgruppenleiter wagte jedoch niemand, ihm zu helfen.

A finales de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, un soldado al que frecuentemente se le ordenó ejecutar a mujeres y niños deserta e intenta encontrar un lugar donde esconderse en su ciudad natal. Inmediatamente el pueblo es evacuadom a excepción del desertor y una chica francesa que es una trabajadora compulsiva.

At the end of WWII a soldier who had often been ordered to execute women and children deserts and tries to find a hiding place in his native village. Almost immediately the entire village is evacuated, except the deserter and a French girl who is a compulsive worker. Believing that the Nazi regime has gone forever they tear down all Nazi placards. The girl also steals civil cloths for the soldier from her employer. But on the next day the Nazis are back and determined to find the person(s) who took away the placards. The employer dares not report the girl for fear that he would also be punished. When the deserter understands that there is no refuge and that his parents and younger sister will be murdered if the Nazis find him, he shoots himself. - 15 years later when a short-time fun-fair is built the deserter's corpse turns up. But even his parents prefer to "forget" what happened and to let the corpse remain "unidentified".
