I think the aim of the movie "Childhood" lies in adults understanding children have right to happy childhood. A child needs to be treated as a person deserving respect, love and attention. The idea of the movie is unwarrantable cruelty of parents towards their child which leads to the tragic consequences. The director creates freely his own cinematographic world in his movie. The movie "Childhood" is watched at one breath and insignificant dramaturgical errors do not lessen the merits of the movie in the whole. The director, Sergei Davidoff succeeded in the most important - keeping the audience in strain, making it ponder and feel together with the heroes of his movie
