History around the tragic incident

World War II was a dark period in the entire human history. The atrocities that took place during the period were chilling and have haunted the victims for years to come.

One such commendable incident took place in Copenhagen.

In the Danish capital, a 1945 Royal Air Force bombing operation went wrong and took many innocent lives, many of them children. A load full of bombs fell on a packed school full of children. What is worse is the fact that the school was not even a target. It was all a mistake, and the bombing happened without any warning.

The film picks up after the heinous bombing occurs. And explores the aftermath of the explosion. The explosion was to such an extent it sent shock waves throughout the capital.

The film shows only a slice of atrocities and the trauma people and the families involved went through.
