The picture is based on documentary facts and refers to Adamovich's "Khatyn Story". The authors have chosen exactly the place and the events that have become a symbol of people's misfortune and suffering. Fleur is a sixteen-year-old boy who dug up a rifle among scraps of barbed wire, machine gun belts and bullet-riddled helmets and went into the forest to the partisans. He's just a kid at the beginning of the movie. In the end, after going through the horror of the punitive action of the fascists, he becomes an adult, frighteningly adult and even old. The war distorted the once delicate, childish features and turned them into old age wrinkles. Actors: Alexey Kravchenko, Olga Mironova, Lyubomiras Lautsevicius, Victor Lorenz, Evgeny Tilicheev, Anatoly Slivnikov
