Synopsis
In WWII Netherlands, resistance-leader Arie is killed by Dutch SS-man Niels, leaving his comrades, who pledge to avenge him. 35 years later, one of them, Ab, confronted with Niels again, decides to round up his old friends to kill him but they're no longer as devoted. Only former communist Gerben has stuck by his pledge and joins the execution.
