The story about Riphagen, a cunning Dutch traitor during WW2 who helped Nazi round up Jews, stealing their treasures for himself. He destroyed Resistance groups, making many who pursued justice after the war look like fools.

The film, written by Paul Jan Nelissen and Thomas van der Ree, isn’t in the least comforting. There are no heroes, or at least, even the heroes have to compromise their beliefs. Some truly good people die because they can’t be ruthless even for the sake of justice.  In the end, we learn what happens to all the main players. Riphagen escaped justice, but not without help. When justice finally stretches out her arms to catch him, he is already gone and in God’s hands, if you still believe in him. I do and there is comfort in that. – Age of the Geek
