"Porcelain Unicorn" is a short documentary film. The story begins when an old man visits a house. Then the time flashes back to 1943 in Germany, a boy (who may be a member of the Nazi Youth) finds a girl with a star on her arm in the ransacked room. If it is true, they should be enemies, but the boy receives a porcelain unicorn from the girl. And when Nazis comes to the house, he tells her to get away.

The film was very moving. Strictly speaking, they should be enemies, but they face each other, and the boy tells the girl to run away. It depicts the purity of children that is not constrained by stereotypes and ideology.

It has only six lines of dialogue. Also, the order of the story is different from a normal film. It begins with the scene that a main character is an old man and visits a house. Nevertheless, the audience can easily understand the content. So, I think the structure of this film is very good. It is worth watching.
