Overview

As the Christmas holidays begin, a group of 10 war-obsessed kids have a wave of inspiration: What if they spend the next two weeks engaged in a simulated war, armed only with shields, wooden swords, snowballs, and a fierce sense of competition? With a bounty chest waiting for the winners, the two sides gradually grow in size, and the war grows in importance, taking over all aspects of their lives.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A winter tale that watches childhood competition spiral from innocent fun into something more serious and divisive. It captures the genuine stakes kids feel in their own worlds with warmth and humor, but doesn't shy away from how quickly joy can curdle into conflict.
