在这部守护剧情片中,乌克兰前年的申奥片，摄影风格类似老塔【潜行者】的诗电影，以苏联大清洗为背景的高分，导演奥莱斯•萨尼恩的第二部被选送的申奥片，上一部是2003年的《Mamay》，和乌克兰的历史有关，又是饥荒，又是大清洗。算是一部讲民族独立的革命电影，用儿童视角，讲小人物的冒险，用外来者的眼光见证一段沉重的历史。
Early 1930s. Peter is a ten-year-old boy in the midst of turbulent Soviet Ukraine. His father, an American engineer, is killed for obtaining secret documents about the repressions, which now are hidden in Peter's book. The boy flees from the police with a blind kobzar (Ukrainian folk minstrel), Ivan Kocherga. Ivan does everything to help his young guide to grow up and survive with a kind and clear soul that will not be hardened by what his eyes have seen. He tells his young guide elaborate stories that make him believe there can be a different reality from what he sees around him. We are challenged to admit the blind kobzar may see the world with greater clarity than those with perfect eyes.
我会哭。
