Зима во время войны

The contrast between the young characters' naivety and the harsh realities around them was so powerful. I wonder what inspired this balance in storytelling.

The detailed setting made the history come alive, but it also left me with a lingering sense of sadness. How accurate do you think the portrayal was?

Seeing the story through the eyes of the young protagonist added so much intimacy. I’m curious whether this perspective was planned from the start or developed later.
