We Play War

Spirited and Resourceful, Peter (11) eludes the harshness of the war-torn world around him. This is early 1945 and fate has allowed the boy to grow up in one of the villages spared by the allied bombing raids that are sweeping the German countryside. Life is harsh, the world is wild, Peter's father is absent and his house is in disarray. His mother Helen is tired, weary and frustrated but having his siblings to take care of, she can only steer Peter so much. Out there with his friends, Peter creates his own world where her can be a child and have fun. However, in war, simple choices and trivial actions can have unexpected consequences. During a mischievous prank, the boys break into the cemetery caretaker's workshop but neither Peter, nor the old man Hans (55), are aware of the grave repercussions. - IMDb
