A Song About the Gray Pigeon

The story of the feature debut of director Stanislav Barabáš is set in the Slovak mountains during the times of the Slovak National Uprising in WW II. Its child characters give an impressive picture of the evil and the meaninglessness of war. The innocence of childhood meets the destructive forces of war, which leave their cruel mark on children´s dreams, desires, and careless games. This film replaces heroic acts from the battlefields with life further away from the frontlines.
