Bolshie khlopoty iz-za malenkogo malchika. 1968.

 SH. Mali vojnici je jugoslavenski crno-bijeli igrani film snimljen 1967 godine u režiji Bahrudina Bate Čengića. Radnja se događa neposredno nakon Drugog svjetskog rata u jednom sirotištu za djecu poginulih partizana i žrtava fašističkih zločina, a gdje, sticajem okolnosti, dolazi plavokosi dječak čiji su roditelji bili nacistički folksdojčeri. Protagonist, čiji lik tumači Stole Aranđelović, je direktor koji dječaka nastoji spasiti od zlostavljanja te za njega izmišlja lažni identitet.
Mali vojnici su, kao i brojna druga ostvarenja jugoslavenske kinematografije iz druge polovice 1960-ih, koristile jačanje autorskih sloboda te prikazivale tamnu stranu nedavne prošlosti jugoslavenske države, prije svega kroz još uvijek neprevladane posljedice rata. Izuzetno mračni ton je dodatno naglašen time da su skoro svi likovi djeca, te da su prikazani sposobnima za isto onakvo nasilje kao i odrasli. Mali vojnici su se zbog toga često nazivao jednim od ostvarenja Crnog talasa.
Mali vojnici su bili u programu Kanskog festivala 1968. godine ali je prije samog prikazivanja festival prekinut zbog političkih previranja u tadašnjoj Francuskoj.
Tijekom Drugog svjetskog rata, u jednom samostanu udomljeni su dječaci koji su izgubili roditelje. Među njima je i novopridošli Boško Grubač, povučeni desetogodišnji dječak koji, iako sin poginulog vojnika, djeluje finije i kulturnije od ostalih. No istina je da je on sin poginulog njemačkog zapovjednika kojega je ravnatelj doma odlučio spasiti, zabranivši mu da ikome odaje svoj pravi identitet.
Bit će vrlo zahtjevno živjeti pod izmišljenim imenom među dječacima ionako napaćenima ratom i pogibeljima njihovih najbližih... Priča, lako primjenjiva i na svijet odraslih, zorno je svjedočanstvo o ljudskom ponašanju, osjećaju mržnje prema neprijatelju i svijesti o pripadnosti svojoj grupi.
EN. A young German boy is sent to an orphanage in Yugoslavia. The director of the school alters the boy's papers to insure he is not hounded for being German; although the war is over, anti-Nazi sentiment runs rampant among the boys at the school. The newcomer's background is revealed when he and the other boys get drunk. When he plays a Teutonic tune on his harmonica, he is accused of being German. The hapless harmonica player is put on trial by the other boys, interrogated, and nearly killed while the director remains helpless to stop the proceedings. It will take time and patience to change the orphans from readily accepting and acting out the violence they have known all their lives.

Малката Тони няма баща, а за майка си е само пречка. Детето често  остава навън пред заключената врата докато майката се забавлява с поредния си гост. Тони скита по улиците или се отбива в ателието на художника на кукли Фипо. Тук момиченцето се потапя в приказен свят, много различен от този, който е около нея.  Но Фипо си има свой живот и проблеми. Тони не се сърди на майка си, обича я и иска да живее с нея. Но за съседските деца Тони е лош пример.  Родителите им правят всичко възможно да я настанят в интернат, без да се интересуват от нейното мнение. Дали това е по-доброто за момиченцето?

Tony wanders in the streets or walks to Pipe doll artist's studio. Here the girl is immersed in a fairy-tale world, very different from the one around her. But Fipo has his own life and problems.

Their parents are doing their best to put her in a boarding school without being interested in her opinion. Is this better for the little girl?

«As P.T. Barnum put it, There's a sucker born every minute.»
Paper Moon is a 1973 American comedy-drama film directed by Peter Bogdanovich and released by Paramount Pictures. Screenwriter Alvin Sargent adapted the script from the novel Addie Pray by Joe David Brown. The film, shot in black-and-white, is set in Kansas and Missouri during the Great Depression. It stars the real-life father and daughter pairing of Ryan and Tatum O'Neal as protagonists Moze and Addie.
Adapted from the novel, "Addie Pray" (1971) by Joe David Brown, PAPER MOON is the story of Moses Pray and Addie Loggins. With scenery reminiscent of "The Grapes of Wrath," the film is set in the depression-era Midwestern region of the United States. As the movie opens, we see a small group of mourners clustered at a graveside. Among the mourners is Addie, the dead woman's small daughter. Moses Pray -- ostensibly of the "Kansas Bible Company" -- approaches the group, as the service concludes, and two of the elderly women remark that the child bears some resemblance to him and asks if he might be related. "If ever a child needed kin, it's now," one lady says. With no knowledge of who her father is, Addie's only haven is her Aunt's home in St. Joseph, Missouri. Having identified himself as a "traveling man spreading the Lord's gospel in these troubled times," "Mose" is prevailed upon to deliver the helpless child to her Aunt since he's going that way, anyway. Addie, wise beyond her years...

It's Angeliki's 11th birthday celebration, and a well-organised party is held in her honour. Everything is in order, and all the ingredients of a usual birthday party are there. A nice fest, a big cake, music, dance, a caring grandfather's embrace... a truly loving family environment. But is it real, or is this an elaborate facade? As we witness a devastating act of despair, we understand that something lies underneath. The story advances, and we slowly get lured into a web of hideous secrets, while gradually getting ourselves dragged into a downward spiral of lies and deceptive appearances. When we unwillingly unravel the mysteries kept behind closed doors, in reality, we plunge into the depths of the human soul and the unfathomable secrets within.

While waiting for her mothers reply to take her to the USA, Lilya idles the time away smoking, drinking and having fun with her, too, outcast friend Volodya. In time, the chance of a new life becomes non-existent; her life is going nowhere. Meeting a young man, she then finds a plane ticket in her hand and a new life in Sweden: a job, an apartment and prospects. All is not what it seems. There shall be work, there shall be housing and there shall be no escape. This is the stark, frank and disturbing vision of the life of a young victim of the underground sex trade and in all its tone of realism of abject poverty, despicable actions and of wanting to show that dreaming of a better life is not a crime but that life can shatter the illusion of a happy ending.
Based primarily on the real life of a Lithuanian girl Danguole Rasalaite, who ended up in Sweden after her mother took off and went to America. The film follows the events of Danguole's life pretty closely, with the main exception of the boy Volodja who is entirely fictional.
