The story of two boys who are destined to live in a period of tremendous upheaval. This is the World War I, the coming to power of the Communists, the destruction of two empires, the military aggression of the Bolsheviks in Ukraine, which proclaimed independence, hunger as a consequence. The author’s central focus – the children attempting to escape the ugly reality through imagination and fantasy. But all this is difficult to understand, if the characters have no real, true, nor imaginary friendship. The film "Anton" is a story about children who mature within but remain children.
