Innocent

‘Toy Soldiers’ is the moving story of two young friends, Darcy and Oliver, who play innocent games as children and dream about their heroes.
A few years later when those games become real they learn that the war they imagined was just an illusion.
It is ugly and cruel, like a woman who has seduced them from a distance and spun around to face them like an old hag.
Their awakening is poignant yet tragic and their story is unforgettable.
