-Have you gone mad!?

-I have to go back!!

-You can't! There's nothing left!

-I have to!

Julia...

Mind the step.

Look!

Are you okay?

Come and sit down.

Krelis, I knew you'd make it.

-I nearly didn't.

-Your wife and daughters?

I don't know...

I think this old man needs a tot?

-I don't have any money.

-I didn't ask that.

I'd like one too.

Two...

-Two gins.

The dry tables and chairs

can be taken upstairs, okay?

Let's get as much as possible upstairs.

Sir...

You can't neglect that.

It needs to be cleaned.

There's still some milk...

...but we have to save it

for the children.

And your husband isn't here?

He...

There was a car crash...

...three weeks ago.

He died...

I'm sorry.

He's all I have left...

Hey, neighbour.

Did you pass my farm?

Did you see...?

There's only water, Krelis...

You did your best.

What was that?

-Was that an apology?

-Watch out!

There!

Hey, get out of my boat!

I have to go to Oosterkerke.

You're crazy. There's nothing left.

-Are you deaf?

-It's an emergency.

It's all emergencies today.

It's up to you. I won't bring you back.

If we don't keep calm...

Reverend... Ladies...

Please everyone, if you don't...

Please don't push. We have so little.

One slice of bread...

Sir, let the little boy go first.

Are you charging restaurant prices,

Guus?

-My family has to eat.

-I'll make sure you get paid.

You shouldn't worry

about profits though.

-The hotel isn't charity...

-We didn't do that in the war?

I have a right to...

Reverend, will you lead us in prayer?

"The hair of my flesh stood up...

"...and I feared your judgement."

Come on. Keep rowing to the dike.

Keep rowing.

Have you seen my brother?

-Koos Hendricks?

-No.

Come on. We have to go back.

I thought he'd be safe...

...warm and dry...

It's dry!

It's dry!

So it didn't tip over.

He can't climb out, so...

Maybe someone came and rescued him.

-It's possible.

-They must have.

-Otherwise he'd still be here.

-You don't know what happened to it.

The lid was shut. The lid was shut.

Come on.

He must have been crying.

Someone heard him.

If you're right, your baby is safe.

And we can leave here. Okay?

I know...

I know where he is.

You won't drag it around.

If it's not your child...

...you'll take it to a dry spot

as soon as possible.

Where there's food... and mothers.

-Where do you want to go?

-To the hotel.

-We're going to the pumping station!

-That's okay!

It's close by there.

We're taking them

to the pumping station.

They were hand-in-hand.

Could you help?

We're being flooded...

Sorry! I didn't mean it like that.

It's better to keep busy,

don't you agree?

No nappies.

But maybe you can use something here.
