Anton and his family are at a funeral of a former member of the Resistance. He overhears a man names Take mention that he murdered a man and ask a question about it and then confirms that the man that Take killed was actually Fake Ploeg and he admits that it happened in front of his house. Take goes pale and then takes Anton for a talk away from the table. This is no coincidence it is all about fate. Anton married a girl who's father was friend to the men who shot the bullet that killed his entire family. And also Anton is not the kind of man to look for information about the assault he likes to forget about it and move on. It was a surprise that Anton said that to Take. We can see that they had to meet because of Fate. And also Take is in the same position as Anton, the night of the assault changed his life because his beloved one died that night. He never knew if she loved him back. But fate made Take meet Anton so that they can both get the information that they had been looking for their whole life. The difference is that Anton was not looking for the information when Take was ready to die to get that information. When Take is about to explain himself to Anton, Anton tries to shut Takes mouth because he did not wan to hear it but Take felt like he had to explain himself. Take explained himself by blaming everything on Fake Ploeg and the horrible acts he has made in his past. He is trying to say that what he did to Fake had to happen. That day is described as brilliant. Which means it is very bright, And we can see that Anton had just gained a lot of new understanding on what happend in the night of the assault. The cigarettes are also important because they are forgiveness. They try to make Take forgive about what happen and just move on. The more he is stuck in his past the more he has to smoke.
