He initiates his naive driver Twan in life in the East, having grown up there as son of colonial official Hendrik, now missing. Their adventures intertwine with Johan's childhood memories, especially concerning his native best friend, Oeroeg, who joined the rebellion, as well as their nanny and later de facto stepmother. Conflicting loyalties become tangible in extreme situations.

You can go. You look exhausted.

Anything else, major?

- No thanks. Take some rest.

Is there someone called Urug

with your company?

What did you ask him?

What I asked him before.

Someone should look at his wound.

Join the army, rape a nanny...

Late at night, without a fight..

The lieutenant stood guard, right?

Twan?

Are you awake?

Can you hear me?

It'll be all right.

We're waiting for transport to Batavia

They can help you there.

Does it hurt?

Miss...

Help him!

- I am.

I'm no surgeon. I'm a nurse.

I have done what I can.

Can you give him an injection?

We have no more morphine.

R- i-t-a... beau-ti-ful eyes...

What did he say?

He says your eyes are

like the sun, Miss Rita.

Tell me everything.

The name of your

commander, your outpost.

I'll take care of you.

I'm listening!

You don't want to talk?

You want to be a hero?

Will he live?

- I don't know.

Will the other casualty live?

Is he a friend of yours?

Yes

Twan is my friend.

Now you think it's your fault?

You shouldn't be here.

You aren't really a soldier.

Goodnight.

Nothing?

Stop this at once!

It's none of your business.

Don't worry. We're

just obeying orders.

He's a prisoner of war.

He's a wog.

He almost killed your

driver in an ambush.

Whose side are you on?

Let him go.

You want us to let him go?

At once!

Let go!

Thank you men.

I shall have to report this.

The major won't be happy.

He wanted us to get

the prisoner to talk.

And you order us to kill him.

I hope you hang for this!

I just obeyed your order.

William of Nassau, Dutch

blood in my veins

I trust in my fatherland till death

A prince of Orange

I am free and brave

I have always honoured

the King of Spain

Where does the Rhine enter our

country, boys?

At Lobith, sir!

- Very good! Here.

Look, that's the Rhine.

- No, that's the Mandiri!

Groningen, Hoogezand, Sappemeer,

Zuidbroek, Heiligerlee,

Nieuweschans, Roodeschool...

I'll y over them all later.

Look, Dad. My report.

Take the steps properly, Johan.

One mark of 7.5, Very good!

Very good, Johan.

Urug has a report too.

- I'll sign it too then.

Ten for arithmetic, Urug?!

That's not bad at all!

You can be bookkeeper when Johan

takes over the plantation.

But Urug and I want to be

explorer or pilot.

Blow!

- One, two, three.

Very good...

Come on.

As far as the eye can see,boy...

...it'll all belong to you later.

Beautiful, Urug. Did you

make it yourself?

Congratulations.

There you are.

- Thank you.

Shall I show you. Look.

Hi, Johan!

Your birthday guests, Johan.

But I didn't invite them!

- Be a good host, come on!

Congratulations!

- Happy Birthday.

It's time for him to mix
