Plot
The film is set in 1947 Beskydy. It follows a 10-year-old boy who regularly shepherds cows next to a destroyed German tank. His grandfather usually looks after him because the boy doesn't have a father and mother has to work. One evening, he meets two mysterious persons. He thinks it is a king of slapsticks with his scribe. They are in fact members of Ukrainian Insurgent Army who plan to plunder the village.[2]
Reception
The film has won an award in Bánská Bystrica for artistic execution.[3]
