Winter in Wartime

The Netherlands 1944/1945, The Second World War is still in full swing during this freezing winter. The western Netherlands are in the grip of a famine, causing many people to move east in order to provide for their families. 14 year old Michiel can't wait to be part of the Dutch resistance, to the dismay of his father, who, as mayor, works to prevent escalations in the village.

This sumptuously photographed drama focuses on 14-year-old Michiel as he wrestles with family loyalties, painful choices between safety and courage, and the harsh realities of the last, desperate winter of World War II.
