00:00Our story begins in Russia with a family of three sitting on the banks of the river while
00:05enjoying their time.
00:06The youngest is Sergei, who is proud to his older brother and mother of his ascent to
00:11the top of the tree.
00:12Suddenly, a German fighter plane flies in the sky of the area.
00:17The mother asks her children to quickly hide in the bushes, but the six-year-old girl claims
00:21that he is not afraid and throws the plane with a slingshot.
00:25To everyone's shock, he manages to hit the plane, which explodes.
00:30But when he looks around, he finds that his family has disappeared.
00:34Sergei wakes up frightened from the dream and calls for his mother.
00:38Just then, someone knocks on his door, so he thinks it is his mother and runs towards
00:43her.
00:44But she is their neighbor, who looks terrified.
00:47She thanks God for keeping him alive and tells him about the death of his mother and brother.
00:52The boy cannot comprehend her words and wants to stay at home waiting for his mother.
00:57The woman tells him that the Germans attacked her and that he must flee immediately.
01:02Just then, some soldiers approach their house.
01:05So the woman smuggles Sergei out through the window, but she is killed before she can join
01:10them.
01:11To him, the six-year-old boy was left alone now, without family or friends.
01:16While Sergei runs away from home, he sees the neighborhood burning behind him.
01:21He calls for his mother in vain and runs away from there.
01:24After running for a while, he ends up in the middle of the forest and again the little
01:28boy starts calling for his mother to come and take him because he is lost.
01:33That night, the forest was eclipsed.
01:36The next morning, we see him drinking river water while enemy soldiers approach him.
01:41As soon as he sees the tree and despite his fear of a snake approaching him, he freezes
01:46in place and does not say a word.
01:49Sergei is more afraid of the soldiers than he is of the snake.
01:53The soldiers eat near the river and then leave.
01:56After that, Sergei takes the remains of their food and eats it throughout the night.
02:01Despite that, at the end of the day, the little boy feels very tired.
02:05He has not had a proper meal for two days and he walks without a face.
02:10He keeps falling with a limp, but he continues walking on his way.
02:14He sees wild berries and devours them.
02:17Suddenly, an explosion occurs behind him.
02:20The boy becomes dizzy and starts to hallucinate because someone is coming after him.
02:25However, even in these circumstances, he stands up bravely and tells the person that he has
02:30a gun.
02:31And he does not he gets scared and then doesn't walk a few steps forward but loses consciousness
