During World War II in the freezing winter of 1944-45 the western Netherlands are in the grip of a famine. Many people move east to provide for their families. Fourteen year old Michiel can't wait to join the Dutch resistance, to the dismay of his father, who, as mayor, works to prevent escalations in the village.

It was fun to watch and it had it’s moments but I think they didn’t capture the true horror in the Second World War like other movies did but after al it was a solid movie but nothing to crazy
