The horror

Rating: 8/10 (26 August 2010)

Come and see the devastation of war, not only upon countries, but upon children.
WWII is a time when Florya (Alekseyow Kravchenko) is growing up and he is forced to grow as a witness and participant in one of mankind's greatest atrocities.
The horrors of war have seldom been displayed as they have here. There is no hope, no possibility of escape. Genocide and murder reigns,and you just wait your turn.
Florya discovers his whole family killed, he loses his hearing to the shelling, and he is forced to deal with terror that even adults should not see.
This film will not excite you with zippy dialog and fancy stars. It is about was, and there is nothing zippy or fancy about it.
