He plots with friends to terrorize or blow them up, but one evening, he's caught by British Sergeant Dunlop. Instead of arresting him, Dunlop drops him off home, and a friendship develops between the two foes. Proffy sees Dunlop as a father figure, while Dunlop is lonely and poetic. Their secret meetings shape Proffy's life, especially the shock of feeling affection for the enemy.
