Plot Summary

In 1945, a Royal Air Force (RAF) de Havilland Mosquito strafes a car carrying several bridesmaids while flying over German-occupied Denmark, mistaking it for a German staff vehicle. The RAF pilots Pete and Andy learn about the accidental killing of civilians from the Danish Special Operation Executive agent Major Truelson.

A teenage boy named Henry is traumatized by the strafing incident and loses his ability to speak. His parents send him to Copenhagen with the hope of improving his mental health. While living in Copenhagen, Henry boards with his cousin Rigmor and her family. Henry also becomes acquainted with Rigmor’s friend Eva. Rigmor and Eva attend the Institut Jeanne d’Arc, a French-language Catholic school run by nuns led by Sister Hanna. Rigmor and Eva help Henry to overcome his trauma including his fear of walking under open skies. Meanwhile, a young novice named Sister Teresa struggles with her faith in God.

Conflict and Resolution

In an attempt to prove God’s existence, Teresa strikes an illicit romantic relationship with a HIPO officer named Frederik, who works for the German occupation authorities. The RAF agrees to bomb the Shellhus, the Gestapo headquarters in Copenhagen with the goal of freeing imprisoned resistance members and destroying Gestapo documents. The planned Operation Carthage is complicated by the Germans imprisoning several Danish resistance hostages under the roof of the Shellhus.

During the air raid, Peter and Andy’s Mosquito fighter-bomber hits a searchlight tower, causing it to crash near the Institut Jeanne d’Arc. Other Mosquito fighter-bombers mistake the school for the target and bomb the building, killing and wounding numerous students and teachers. However, other RAF bombers succeed in targeting the Shellhus, damaging the building and destroying Gestapo documents. In the ensuing chaos, several Danish resistance prisoners take the opportunity to escape.

Resolution and Conclusion

During the air raid, Henry gradually regains his ability to speak and assists firefighters with identifying some of the wounded children. Rigmor and Teresa are trapped under the rubble amidst rising water from fire hoses attempting to put out the flames above. Frederik attempts to rescue Teresa from the rubble, but she jumps into the water, possibly hoping to save Rigmor. This triggers the collapse of the basement. Eva’s parents are distraught when they are unable to find their daughter, with her father regretting arguing with her. When Henry tells Eva’s mother that Eva may have gone home, she finds her daughter at home eating the cold porridge.
