The tone of the film is slightly depressing at the beginning, which is disturbing. The director only presents the cruelty of that era one by one through the dialogue between the two children and the living environment. How innocent is the child's world, and how cruel and conscientious what is happening in reality is. The whole film is not so bloody and brutal, but you clearly know that it is purgatory on earth. It is a paradoxical desolation to expose all this from a child's perspective.
The ending was unexpected, and I wonder if the father regretted it a little bit. However, more than one family is broken, and the wrong decision is a disaster for the people, as in any country.
