When Jay was choreographing, a documentary about Dutch Liberation Day was playing on TV, which reminded him of 1944' s childhood experience. It was World War II, and food in Amsterdam was extremely scarce. Jay's mother sent him to a foster home in the Dutch countryside in order not to starve him. Jay was put in foster care with a fisherman's family. Although he has plenty of food, he misses his mother very much.

With the allied action to open a second front in Europe, a group of Canadian soldiers moved into Jay's village. At this time, Jay met a Canadian officer in his early twenties, Walter Cook. At a dance, Jay met Walter and made friends with him. The relationship between the two became closer and closer, and finally there was a closer relationship. Jay's foster family knows that Jay and Walter are close, but they don't think their relationship is beyond the scope of friendship in the film.

Later, due to the development of the war, Walter's army moved to other areas. Walter didn't have time to say goodbye to Jay because of an urgent order. When Jay found out that Walter had left, he could never say goodbye to Walter again. A photo kept secretly by Jay was washed into pulp by accident when washing clothes, and the film that kept the photo between them was completely exposed by accident.

After the war, Jay's mother took Jay back to Amsterdam, and at that time, Jay decided to go to America to continue his old age.

At the end of the film, Jay, as an adult, arranged his thoughts about Walter into a dance. At the same time, due to the development of printing technology, several photos were developed from the exposed film. In one of the photos, Jay found Walter's identity tag through inflation, and he realized that he seemed to be able to pursue Walter again.

In the original book, Walter Cook's name is Walter P. Narbu. Introduction of actors and roles: Marton Schmidt, Maarten Smit Jay Berman (teenager) and Jeroen van de Weijer Berman (teenager)
