In case you're branching out by genre and nationality, these two are
about kids and war.
Among the films, there's Tarkovsky's classic "Ivanovo Detstvo,"
which I believe was an original screenplay, not a story.
Elem Klimov's "Idi i smotri," on the other hand, was based on a story 
or
stories about Belarus during the war. The writer, Ales Adamovich, is
Belarusian.
