In WW2, twelve year old Soviet orphan Ivan Bondarev works for the Soviet army as a scout behind the German lines and strikes a friendship with three sympathetic Soviet officers.
A boy’s innocence dissolves into a series of fragmented, dreamlike visions as he navigates the lethal landscape of the front lines. Instead of a traditional war epic, this remains a hauntingly intimate portrait of a child forced into premature adulthood.
