The boy happened to be born in a Jewish family. It happened in Germany. Someone called Hitler seized power. Can his only precious life depend on such circumstances? Or the life of his father, a fussy patriarch, or that of his uncle and his half-crazy wife? They are much more real than Hitler. Thus David without a hint of understanding and a smile on his face finds himself in the midst of the final settlement of the Jewish question. Even the death of his relatives can't wipe the expression of scornful surprise from his face. (Moscow International Film Festival)
