Jan De Ruyter is a Dutch strict, law-abiding IND (Dutch Immigration Authorities in The Hague) officer. He works and lives in Amsterdam. In his private life, he is a loving, caring father and a brilliant musician. The life of Mahmoud, a 17-year old immigrant who is about to be deported is in Jan's hands. He turns a blind eye to the horrible consequences of deporting him, trying to rule according to protocol, and plays his music as he tries to escape his guilty conscience. It won't be long before the inevitable thought of his co-responsibility for the death and misery of many catches up with him. - IMDb
