Directed by Mark Herman and based on John Boyne’s novel, “The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas” is a poignant historical drama set during World War II. The film explores an unlikely and heartbreaking friendship between Bruno, an eight-year-old son of a Nazi commandant, and Shmuel, a Jewish boy imprisoned in a concentration camp.

When Bruno’s family relocates to a house near the camp, he discovers a “farm” he can see from his window. Defying his parents’ warnings, Bruno sneaks out and encounters Shmuel, who is confined behind the camp’s barbed wire. Despite their drastically different lives and the physical barrier between them, the boys form a bond rooted in their shared innocence and curiosity.
