Childhood Days (1990)

Childhood Days 1990 / 少年時代 1990 / Takeshi: Childhood Days , Shonen Jidai

Shinji (a young boy evacuated from Tokyo) and his new schoolmates (who are villagers) don’t exactly know what is going on in the war. They see the B-29 bombers, but the problems of being separated from one’s mother and surviving among one’s peers loom larger than international politics.
