My Name Is Ivan is the tender movie about the innocence and beauty of the bonds that form between people during wartime. Set during World War II, twelve year-old Ivan is hell-bent on revenge after his family is killed by German soldiers. Because of his youthful size and agility, Ivan becomes a spy for his homeland and risks his life as he crosses the German
border. Under a sky of exploding shells and a rain of machine gun fire, Ivan makes a new family out of the Russian soldiers who find his courage to be an inspiration. My Name Is Ivan was Andrei Tarkovsky's first in a string of critically acclaimed films respected around the world. Brilliant photography and a deep sensitivity for the characters form a truly great film.
