De Aanslag (The Assault)

144' - 1986 - Drama, Romance - Dialogue: German, Dutch, English
Based on Harry Mulisch's best-selling novel, Fons Rademakers made a film which became almost as popular as the book itself. lt is the story of young Anton Steenwijk, whose parents and brother are executed after they were supposed to have killed a collaborator in January 1945, only a few months before the war ended. He survives, but even years later, his mind will be haunted by that one question to which the answer seems impossible to find: what happened exactly and who was to blame?
