1947. Post-war Amsterdam. Winter ice is not only on the streets of the city, but also in the lives of people trying to find at least some kind of balance. Ten-year-old Thomas lives alone with his dreamer father, who moves from one job to another and cannot come to terms with the death of the boy’s mother. And the son remains practically without his attention. Everyone in this city at this time has a story like this. What warms them up is friends and conversations. Thomas's friends are his age, the quiet boy Pete Zwan, whose parents were victims of the Holocaust, and the strict thirteen-year-old Beth Zwan, with whom Thomas is in love. Together with Thomas and his friends, we get to know the inner world of people affected by the war, and enjoy every ray of sunshine in their lives.12+
