The entire family of a 6-year-old Anna dies in the mass coordinated execution of Jews. The mother covers up Anna with her own body, and the girl miraculously survives. For the next few hundred days Anna hides in the disused chimney at the Nazi Commandant's office. From her shelter she watches as life passes her by until the village is liberated from the Nazi. In these inhuman conditions Anna not only survives but keeps her humanity. Many factors help her: memories from the life swept away by war, the cultural foundations laid by the parents and a friend who saves her from loneliness.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
This movie takes place during ww2 in Nazi occupied Russia. When the movie begin Anna 6 years old just lost her parents and she is on her own in a hostile enviroment. If she get caught she will probably get killed. There very little dialogue in this movie, so it doesnt matter that much if this is a Russian made movie. You will follow this 6 year old and how she try to survive. Hide to prevent detection. Runs trying to find food. Its like a computer game with a first person survival game. Find food, keep yourself warm, get rested and so on. This is an interesting movie but it feels like them who made this movie ran out money because it is a bit short. This young actress Marta Kozlova makes a brilliant job. Its rare to watch a movie were the lead actress is just 6 years old.I liked this but I would have wished for the movie to be a bit longer.
