Plot

It concerns several Dutch resistance fighters 35 years after World War II who have sworn revenge on a Dutch SS officer who shot their friend during the Netherlands' resistance to Nazi occupation. Upon finding the man, they discover that he is now paralysed and would suffer more to stay alive than be killed.[1]

Cast

Release

Although the film was shot in 1979, the first broadcast took place 2 years later. The KRO aired the film on May 3, 1981. According to screenwriter Gerard Soeteman, the reason for this was that it was decided to give priority to the feature film Spetters first. As a result, this film remained unedited for 2 years.[2]
