The Assault
A morally complex post-war reckoning that traces how a single act of wartime violence ripples through a civilian's life, forcing confrontation with the ambiguity of resistance and complicity.
At the end of WWII the Dutch resistance kills a German officer in front of the house of a Dutch family. Years after the war the young boy who witnessed the killing runs into the members of the resistance who committed the killing.
