Synopsis

In the somber aftermath of World War II, young Siggi Jepsen finds himself confined within the walls of a juvenile detention center. Tasked with writing an essay on the ostensibly simple subject of "the joys of duty," his mind is drawn back to the shadowy era of his childhood, where duty was an iron chain that bound his father, a zealous police sergeant, to the brutal edicts of the Nazi regime.

Siggi's reflections unravel a tale of conflicted loyalties and moral dilemmas. His father, unwavering in his adherence to duty, severed ties with a cherished friend, a decision that left indelible scars on Siggi's youth. The essay becomes a cathartic odyssey as Siggi grapples with the haunting memories of protecting this friend, a noble act that now costs him his freedom. In this poignant exploration of obedience and defiance, Siggi's story is a testament to the enduring struggle between conscience and authority.
