Set in Antwerp during the German occupation in World War II, the story follows Wilfried Wils, a young man who aspires to be a poet while working as an auxiliary police officer. Caught in an environment marked by violence, distrust, and the persecution of the Jewish population, Wilfried tries to survive by navigating between two opposing worlds: resistance and collaboration. Years later, as an old man, he recounts his experiences to one of his descendants. 'Wil' is an ambitious and raw novel that questions the moral boundaries between good and evil, offering a profound reflection on human survival in times of war.
