Antwerp and inspired by the author's own family history of
collaboration during WW2 It is 1941, and Antwerp is in the grip of
Nazi occupation. Young policeman Wilfried Wils has no intention of
being a hero - but war has a way of catching up with people. When
his idealistic best friend draws him into the growing resistance
movement, and an SS commander tries to force him into
collaborating, Wilfried's loyalties become horribly, fatally torn.
As the beatings, destruction and round-ups intensify across the
city, he is forced into an act that will have consequences he could
never have imagined. A searing portrayal of a man trying to survive
amid the treachery, compromises and moral darkness of occupation,
Will asks what any of us would risk to fight evil.
