Spoilers ahead
In May 1940, as German forces sweep across France and Belgium, the remains of the Belgian Air Force are bottled up near the Flemish coast and billeted at a farm in the Flemish countryside. The story begins around the quiet hardship of war, with the commander ordering surrender and directing that the regimental colours be honourably buried rather than handed over to the invaders. A small band of pilots with serviceable aircraft manage to fly to England to join the Allied air forces, while those who cannot are forced to surrender. The tension between duty, sacrifice, and survival threads through these early days on the farm of Farmer and his wife, Frau, painting a stark picture of what it means to endure under occupation.
