At the end of World War II, a small town in the Netherlands is covered in snow, and the war casts a dark shadow over the entire city. A young boy named Michel (played by Martijn Lakemeier) goes to play near the wreckage of a crashed plane with his friends, but they are caught by the stationed German soldiers. Fortunately, Michel's father, the mayor, seems to have a good relationship with the Germans, and he quickly takes Michel back home. Michel is thrilled by the arrival of Uncle Ben, but Uncle Ben warns him not to get involved in the war. Before departing to blow up a German munitions depot, Dirk gives him an envelope, but during the mission, Dirk is captured by the Germans. Later, Michel opens the envelope and discovers a wounded British pilot named Jack hiding in the woods. Michel begins to care for him and help him escape, with the assistance of his nurse sister, Erica (played by Melody Klaver). After Jack recovers, several of Michel's attempts to help him escape ultimately fail. During this time, due to the killing of German soldiers, Michel's father is ultimately killed by the Germans. With no other options, Michel turns to Uncle Ben for help, who is willing to assist but demands that Michel no longer intervene in the matter. Michel watches as Uncle Ben takes Jack and his sister further away, reflecting on the events of that winter, and realizes that Uncle Ben is a German spy hidden in his own home... This film is regarded as a classic in the genre of war, children, and adventure, adapted from the novel of the same name by a Dutch author. It was voted Best Film at the Rembrandt Awards held in Amsterdam in March 2009.
