Wilfried Wils is an auxiliary policeman in Antwerp at the start of the Second World War. The city is in the grip of violence and distrust. Wilfried does what he can for himself, avoiding paths that are too slippery. He enjoys the patronage of Meanbeard, a man who has sided with the German occupier, but he also has the confidence of his anti-Nazi colleague Lode, the brother of his sweetheart, Yvette. Wilfried struggles to survive as the persecution of the Jews proceeds unabated. It was a time of ambiguity and contempt, which is to say no different from other times, including the present. Based on the bestselling novel by Jeroen Olyslaegers.
