The innocent darkness within children is stunningly revealed. An unsettling and poignant work of art.

"A Day with the Boys" follows a group of boys as they are playing atypical war games of childhood.

The boys are only playing at burying the adult character/businessman after his quick execution where upon suddenly, the camera is panning to reveal that they have killed others.  The grave of the victim is then marked with his suitcase and we see there are three similar graves marked with their own deceased occupants' emblems: an umbrella, a basket and a child's doll.  Gorgeously photographed by Laszlo Kovacs "A Day with the Boys" looks like a painting with freeze-frames and dissolving images.
