Set against the claustrophobic streets of Nazi-occupied Antwerp, two young police officers are drawn into a perilous tug-of-war between collaboration and resistance. As the city tightens its grip with curfews, checkpoints, and the ever-present threat of betrayal, their loyalties are tested by fear, duty, and the desperate need to protect loved ones. Small acts of defiance and compromise ripple outward, forcing them to confront how far they will go to survive and what they can no longer live with.
The film unfolds with quiet intensity, balancing tense moral dilemmas and human vulnerability rather than straightforward heroics. Friendships fray, alliances shift, and every choice carries weight, turning ordinary decisions into matters of life and death. Through meticulous period detail and intimately drawn performances, it examines the blurred line between complicity and courage in a world that offers no easy answers.
