Tratto dal famoso romanzo di Jerzy Kosinski, The Painted Bird è una pellicola 35mm girata in bianco e nero, una meticolosa evocazione della selvaggia, primitiva Europa dell’Est alla fine della sanguinosa Seconda guerra mondiale. Il film ripercorre il viaggio del Ragazzo, affidato dai genitori perseguitati a un’anziana madre adottiva. Presto, però, l’anziana donna viene a mancare e il Ragazzo rimane solo a vagare per le campagne e a spostarsi tra villaggi e fattorie. Nella sua lotta per la sopravvivenza, il Ragazzo è esposto all’atroce brutalità messa in atto dai superstiziosi contadini locali e assiste alla violenza inaudita dei soldati russi e tedeschi, efficienti e spietati. Al termine della guerra, il Ragazzo è cambiato, per sempre.
