Klymko

Klymko (1983) is a Soviet war drama directed by Mykola Vingranovsky you can watch online on iFILM, starring Sergei Pisunov in the title role.

Village boy Klymko sees his father off to the front and stays behind with his stepmother in an occupied village. No friends nearby, no news from anywhere. Hunger and the grinding stillness of wartime become his daily existence until he makes it to a vocational school nine kilometres from home, where he finds new companions and works alongside them for the war effort. Based on a story by Ukrainian writer Gryhor Tyutyunnyk, the film earns its emotion quietly — a child who grows up because there is no other option. Stream Klymko (1983) online on iFILM.
