The Bullet is Afraid of a Brave, or Mishka Accepts the Fight

This film takes place on June 22, 1941, during a seemingly ordinary morning at a children's camp near the Soviet frontier.

The narrative follows a Soviet tankman named uncle Vasia, who, alongside a boy named Michael, embarks on a daring mission to rescue the children from captivity.

The film's unique blend of war themes and family dynamics makes it a significant entry in Soviet cinema, particularly for collectors interested in wartime narratives. The adventure unfolds as the duo operates a single tank in a desperate attempt to save the young pioneers. This film encapsulates innocence amidst the chaos of war, creating a poignant contrast that resonates with viewers.
