The story

In late 1944, the Hongerwinter famine is starting to bite in the occupied northern and western Netherlands and Nazi persecution is rife. The farm of Jan Alting, a Dutch patriot who has disowned his son for his collaboration with the occupying German forces, is known by the Dutch Resistance as a place of refuge for those who are in danger from the Germans. With the help of his daughter Elly, Alting is currently providing shelter for Jewish couple Mark and Mary Meyer; van Nespen, an aristocrat with active links to the underground movement, and Bakker, a Communist wanted by the Germans for sabotage.
