The Boy from Town Called B

Trapped alone in a cellar after explosions devastate his town, a boy survives day by day in total darkness. Clutching a toy pup and guided by memory, imagination, and fragments of hope, he builds a makeshift sky, collects water, fashions weapons, and sculpts clay figures of his loved ones. As days pass and silence replaces war, he performs a quiet ritual: pouring water onto clay, summoning life into a motionless, ruined world. Emerging from the cellar into blinding light, he finds his family and townspeople alive, smiling. But one final step remains — the boy walks to the edge of the street and comforts a weeping God, telling Him with childlike wisdom: "Don't cry. We’ve won." And in that moment, sound returns to the world.

Director’s statement
This story was born from the silence left after destruction — the silence in a child’s heart, and in the ruins of his town. The Boy from Town Called B is not just a tale of survival, but of resilience, imagination, and the quiet power of hope. Through a child’s eyes, the horror of war becomes a strange and sacred journey — where a match brings light, a toy becomes a friend, and clay figures carry the memory of love. I wanted to tell this story without sentimentality, but with reverence for the inner world of a child — where magic and trauma coexist. In the end, the boy comforts even God. That moment, for me, is the soul of this film.
