The film in set in rural France in the 1940's, during WWII. The protagonists are two children, a very young girl and a slightly older boy. The boy is beaten several times throughout the film, by several adults - child abuse is pretty much depicted as being the norm at the time. The two children hold on to each other to try and survive the brutality of their surroundings but are eventually separated. The final scene shows them crying as they are taken away from each other.

A young farm boy gets kicked in the chest by a horse and dies slowly (over several days). It is implied his sternum has been crushed. He is shown coughing out blood.

The protagonist is a (very young) little girl fleeing with her parents through the French countryside during WWII. They are caught in a German air raid and both her parents are killed. Their death is shown onscreen in a relatively graphic manner for a 1950's film (very little blood but you can see the bullets hitting them). The little girl is then shown confused, too young to understand they are dead. Her puppy dog is killed in the same air raid and she begins carrying his body around, hoping he will wake up. During the rest of the movie she is left absolutely without support or affection from any adult figure to deal with her grief.
