The two-part television version of the novel by SIEGFRIED LENZ Part 2
The German sense of duty is rigorously applied by Jens, the policeman of a village on the North Sea coast. Although Germany is losing the war, Jens plods on regardless, in this case persecuting his old schoolmate, Max Nansen , whom the Nazis have banned from painting, owing to his alleged ' decadence Jens has more personal problems as his elder son, Claas, has deserted from the German Army after a self. inflicted wound. He has been sheltered by the painter Max, but when he is wounded by a freak aerial strafing in the peat bogs outside the village, Jens has no recourse but to turn him over to the authorities. The story is seen in flashback through the eyes of the youngest son, Siggi, an inmate of a juvenile detention centre in post-war Germany.
