To be truly alive means having to make choices To be truly alive is
also, quite simply, to love 1945. Dead of night and dead of winter;
war brings a stranger to the door; a family is tricked into a act
of compassion and danger. Later when peace finally arrives in their
small town on the German Heide, Freya and her sister are grateful.
The fighting is over, so are the Nazi times; the labour camp on the
town outskirts will surely be closed now. But with peace come
soldiers - English this time - and hundreds of new arrivals: more
strangers - forced labourers from across the heathland and beyond,
all with their own losses and stories, and all housed in a new camp
on the site of the old. Among these refugees are children - Janina
and Lukas - waiting and waiting for word of their mother. In
Freya's home too there is waiting -to be asked about that snowy
night; and family secrets, that Freya and her sister must confront.
When is an act of kindness an act of betrayal?
