From case cover:
The great Andrei Tarkovsky's debut feature, Ivan’s Childhood (Ivanovo detstvo), is a poetic journey through the shadows and shards of one boy’s war-torn youth. Moving back and forth between the traumatic realities of World War II and serene moments of family life before the conflict began, Tarkovsky’s film remains one of the most jarring and unforgettable depictions of the impact of violence on children in wartime.

From IMDb:
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.
