The works reacts on the incident at the ancient Train station in Banská Štiavnica when 72 civil inhabitants of german speaking villages in Slovakia were shooted by slovak guerrila soldiers. The scene from the slovak movie „Vlčie diery“ (1948, directed by Pavol Bielik) in which the german soldier beats the slovak boy is painted by stencils on the garage's door which lead along the old railways. The colours of the stencilled figures have inverted nationality: the beating soldiers has slovak national colours (white, blue, red) and the small boy has german national colours (yellow, red, black).
