A slice of life of a revengeful 12 year old boy who becomes a scout for the Russian army during WW2. As seen from the Russian point of view and all that goes with that. All the soldiers are kind in this quiet war film. Tarkovsky is more interested in the look of the natural world with birch trees and the swamps and the first birch cabin I have ever seen. Another example of why foreign films are the antithesis of American films. A lack of a "character" as in character actor in the American stage tradition. People look and speak more like real human beings and Tarkovsky was a poet of the motion pictures.
