The invasion of a village in Byelorussia by German forces sends young Florya into the forest to join the weary Resistance fighters, against his family's wishes. There he meets a girl, Glasha, who accompanies him back to his village. On returning home, Florya finds his family and fellow peasants massacred. His continued survival amidst the brutal debris of war becomes increasingly nightmarish, a battle between despair and hope.

Not only does an animal die in this movie, it was shot in the 1970’s Soviet-union, and therefore all of the explosions, and animal deaths, were real. You see and hear an animal die for real while watching this movie.
cow gets shot at around 1:19:00 to avoid seeing it die or lie there i skipped to 1:24:00. horse is shown on the ground 1:57:13 i assume it was shot skipped to 1:57:38
A woman is dragged off by her hair and placed in a van by Nazis to be gang r*ped. The actual act itself is not depicted, but we later see her after she's been brutalized.
A character lives to recount how he was doused in petrol and set on fire. You can see his burnt skin. Later, village people are herded into wooden structures like barns and torched with flamethrowers and molotov cocktails, but you only see the outsides of the structures (there are no scenes of people actually being burned).
NOT SAFE! Note that these timestamps are probably not a hundred percent correct and i need to rewatch, about 49 minutes, no visual and barely any sound, about one hour and 16 minutes with visual.
