■ Primary Axis
- Entry: Childhood after irreversible loss
Reason: The child’s identity is formed not by growth but by the destruction of family, home, and safety.
Related Film: Forbidden Games - Middle: War turning the child into an instrument
Reason: Military necessity absorbs the child’s trauma and turns survival into operational usefulness.
Related Film: Come and See - Core: Memory as the last remains of innocence
Reason: Childhood survives only as dream, image, and lost possibility against the machinery of war.

■ Secondary Axes
- Ruined world and moral collapse: War dismantles the boundary between adult violence and child existence.
