Above

Synopsis:
at the end of World War II, two men dream of escape to a better life in a new land. In a submarine miles below the surface of the ocean, with increasing paranoia and decreasing oxygen, their hope of seeing "above" dwindles, and they descend into madness and mutiny - until the arrival of their commander, one of the most feared men of modern history, brings them back to reality.
