It's an old and black and white Ukrainian movie. It tells about the war years and childhood at wartime (like Tarkovsky's Ivan). There is a family. Dad goes war as a soldier, mom is taking care of their children. In some scenes, they also dress the woman in a soldier's uniform. The scene I remember the most: sunflowers and flowers, mother and child walking towards each other in slow motion among trees. There was no sound in the background, only nature sounds. Then they are hugging each other.
Another scene i remember: the kid was learning reading. He was reading slowly. Then he was visiting his mom. Mom was very sick, probably very close to death. So kid was crying. That was the ending scene of movie.
