Lukisan perang yang ada di kanvas kecil adalah bukan lukisan biasa. Lukisan ini dilukis semasa Agresi Militer Belanda kedua di Yogyakarta. Sebuah karya sejarah yang mampu secara realistik menggambarkan peristiwa tersebut. Sebuah nilai sejarah dilukis dengan sentuhan tangan anak-anak berusia 10 – 14 tahun yang berani secara langsung melukis di lapangan. Film ini mampu menangkap semangat perjuangan dan nasionalisme dari sudut pandang anak-anak tersebut sebagai pejuang maupun seniman. Diharapkan film ini mampu menginspirasi dan mengedukasi kita semua yang merefleksikan sejarah perjuangan bangsa ini.
War paintings are inscribed in this small canvas paintings are not ordinary. The paintings were painted during the Dutch Military Aggression II in Yogyakarta. A historical artifact nation capable of realistically representing the event. Historical values were framed with a touch of aesthetic children who dare to paint on the spot on the battlefield. The film is not only describes the so phenomenal paintings in terms of aesthetic and creative process, but the film also wants to interpret the spirit of struggle and nationalism which is reflected from the standpoint of these children as a fighter and an artist. Hopefully this film inspire and educate for many people to reflect on the struggle of the Indonesian nation.
