Jeroen's foster parents are aware of the closeness between the boy and Walt, but it is left ambiguous whether they are aware of the sexual nature of the relationship.Īfter a few more days, Walt's troops are ordered to move and Walt leaves without saying goodbye to Jeroen. They also engage in friendly, platonic activities, with Jeroen driving Walt's jeep and cleaning his guns. Eventually, however, their relationship becomes sexual. Walt at first treats Jeroen like a little brother, and the boy revels in the attention the soldier showers on him.

Jeroen and his friend Jan go to the ocean and see an American plane in the water Jan tries to go under but claims there are too many eels and comes up with a big cut on his upper right thigh.
