THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PAJAMAS.
SYNOPSIS
Berlin, 1942. Bruno, of eight years, is the spoiled son of a nazi officer. To ascend his father, the family is forced to leave his comfortable home in Berlin and moved to an isolated area where the solitary boy has nothing to do and no one with whom to play.
Died of boredom and attracted by curiosity, Bruno ignores what his mother tells him. It should not go beyond the garden under any circumstances. But he ignores him and goes to 'farm' which has glimpsed in the distance.
There he meets Shmuel, a boy of his age who lives a strange, parallel existence on the other side of a fence. The meeting of Bruno with the boy in the striped Pajamas takes you to enter as the most innocent in the adult world around them.
