The Eyes of a War

The Finnish civil war in 1918 was also a children’s war, with child soldiers on both sides. Children saw and experienced everything, fought in battles, were wounded and also executed. But children also played on the ruins of the war and believed in their future. The Eyes of a War is based on authentic photographs, and they speak for themselves. Each child, White and Red alike, is a victim of war. (Tampere Film Festival)
