Belarus, 1943. More than anything, young Flyora, the only son of an impoverished peasant family, wants to take up arms and do his part in defending the homeland from the invading Nazis. However, there's nothing romantic about World War II. Indeed, by the time the inexperienced teenager joined a local unit of battle-tested partisans, the all-out German invasion of Belarus had already begun. Now, unspeakable horrors lie hidden in the fog of war, crushing Flyora's juvenile oblivion. And as the unsettling, irrefutable evidence of war disfigures Flyora's once-rosy, youthful face, the urgent plea for peace becomes timeless.—Nick Riganas

Set against the backdrop of World War II, "Come and See" follows a young boy named Florya who lives in a rural village in Belarus. Eager to join the resistance against the occupying forces, he leaves his home with dreams of heroism and adventure. However, as he journeys deeper into the heart of the conflict, Florya is confronted by the brutal realities of war. Through his eyes, the story captures the devastation of villages, the suffering of civilians, and the overwhelming destruction left in the wake of violence. As the world around him collapses into chaos, Florya's experiences gradually strip away his innocence, forcing him to witness humanity at its most harrowing. The film presents his transformation with a raw intensity, chronicling his silent endurance as he navigates a landscape scarred by loss and terror.—chera_khalid
