  • David wakes up because of the sound of the flying planes. It\'s the geraman planes, the ones he feared for so long. David is scared, he blames himself for staying in Poland for so long. He could have emigratid earlier, he could have taken his family away from this country. His wife Sophie and the nanny of their 2 year old daughter are scared as well, he can see it in their eyes.
