About the film

Johan Zuiderwijk lives with his family and friends in the Bezuidenhout neighbourhood of The Hague. After the bombing of Rotterdam and with the war seeming increasingly hopeless. A group of friends decide to set up a resistance group together, also because one of them is Jewish.



The group discovers that the Germans have placed rocket installations in the Haagse Bos aimed at London. As the resistance group takes greater risks in its operations, Johan comes to realize that there is a traitor among them and friendship is no longer something they can take for granted. Meanwhile the British are preparing a bombing of the Haagse Bos. It ultimately goes terribly wrong on the morning of March 3, 1945.
