Mother of Mine (2005)

Foreign Film - Finland and Sweden during World War II.. The backdrop of this film is based on truth - evacuation of 70,000 Finnish children to neutral Sweden in 1943. Eero's dad is killed by the Russians, and his mom gives him up to the authorities to be sent to Sweden to a foster family. Disappointment arises when the Swedes learn he is not a girl, but a boy. And the boy discovers that it is not a vacation as his mom referred to it, but a long endeavor away from home. Fabulous performances all around and lovely views of the Swedish countryside/farmland. 1 hr. 51 min.
