In the Soviet Union in 1943, hungry orphaned boys roam the country committing robberies and even murder.

An affirmation of the human value of friendship within the context of a bleak (and I would say truthful) vision of human behaviour (i.e. the victors in WWII were not necessarily morally much better than the vanquished - think of the orgy of rape and murder by the Red Army during the invasion of Berlin, the wanton destruction of cities, the dropping of the atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki...). Director Aleksandr Atanesian would have done better not to claim that his film was historically accurate - a marketing ploy that was easily exposed - but this should not obscure the moral truth that the movie embodies. The youthful actors are all superb, and the cinematography is gorgeous.
