Ferdinand Vercnocke, Wide Vercnocke's grandfather, was convicted after World War II for literary activity for the occupier. The family taboo associated with this history becomes the starting point for a deep analysis of the past. Wide Vercnocke, seeing a physical resemblance to his grandfather and father, wonders if biological heritage also influences other aspects of life, including political attitudes.

In 2015, Bout Vercnocke, the author's father, decides to examine the family archive and, using modern historical methods, determine the truth about those events. This also intrigued Wide Vercnocke, who wanted to find answers to his nagging questions. The joint work of the son and father resulted in the creation of the book "Nas trzech", in which they both confront the past, facing difficult facts and emotions.
