Although it's a post-war film that focuses on the war, it's certainly not as shallow as it might seem. The war is the starting point for a situation where a young boy, although unknowingly, is torn between two mothers. I'm not saying I think the finale is good in its resolution, but it is a well-acted film with a great premise.
