I have never been to film festivals, but I am glad that I can see films on the Internet.

War. Ukraine. 1941. The story tells about a boy named Yasha. The boy lives with his mother and little sister. It would seem that this is a wonderful childhood, but, unfortunately, the boy has to grow up early - the Germans did not spare anyone. Yasha was saved by a miracle

Pros: An interesting comparison of Yasha with a baby goat. Both are so small, bright and helpless. The musical accompaniment is just incredible, from the first notes I understand that I will have to cry haha

Cons: Some kind of affectation at the very beginning. The feeling that I'm watching a movie about Barbie. I do not know

9/10 Incredible!
