It begins with a reflection on his life before the war, followed by a family discussion about the political climate and the threat posed by Hitler. Yannick entertains his family with a shadow show, but the mood shifts when a radio announcement reveals the German army's arrival in Cracow. The family is caught off guard, and the transcript ends with a sense of impending danger as the Germans invade.
