Anna's War
2018. Drama. 1h14m
Director: Alexey Fedorchenko
During World War II, a little girl is left without her parents and forced to hide from the Nazis, taking care of herself independently. Day after day.
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 her parents and a friend who saves her from loneliness.
