The year is 1943. The Dutch countryside burns under the weight of war. Amidst the ash and ruin of a destroyed home, a small figure sobs beside lifeless bodies. The air is thick with smoke and despair. Footsteps crunch on debris. A tall soldier enters, his blond hair peeking from a helmet, eyes wide with shock. He spots the child, then the parents. Seeing the boy feign death, his expression shifts from fear to profound sadness. He steps closer, his presence gentle amidst the chaos.
