Synopsis
Nazi-occupied Holland, 1945. In a snow-covered village, thirteen-year-old Michiel (Martijn Lakemeier) is drawn into the Resistance when he aids a British paratrooper. Michiel’s boyish sense of defiance and adventure soon turns to danger and desperation, as Michiel is forced to act without knowing whom to trust among the adults and townspeople around him. Wartime’s harsh reality encroaches on childhood innocence as Michiel confronts good and evil, courage and duplicity, and his own burden of responsibility.
Winter in Wartime was directed by Martin Koolhoven. Written by Paul Jan Nelissen, Mieke de Jong and Martin Koolhoven. Based on the book by Jan Terlouw. Produced by Els Vandevorst for Isabella Films, San Fu Maltha for Fu Works and Antonio Lombardo for Prime Time Omroep Max.
