40-45 is set in Antwerp, just after the First World War. Staf and Louis Segers are born with a year difference. They grow up in a warm nest. The brothers are best friends and nothing seems to break their bond. Until the inevitable happens: the Second World War breaks out and that leaves traces in every living room, in every family. Also in the family of Staf and Louis.
