Will

Will is a gendarmes in the Antwerp police force in 1942 during the Nazi occupation and he is also an artist.

One night he and his partner are asked to accompany an SS officer to arrest a Jewish family who the Nazis say does not want to work. To save the family from the ruthless officer Will and his partner end up killing him which starts a whole descent into chaos for this sensitive man trying to survive during very trying times.

There are difficult scenes in this film which might haunt you but I watched it knowing that some of this brutality isn't exaggerated and reflected a harsh truth suffered by people who did nothing more than belong to the wrong religion.

Highly recommended and in Dutch with English subtitles.
