The film is set to be in Nazi Germany, and it starts when 8-year-old Bruno and his family must

move from their home in Berlin to a new house in a weird-looking place as he calls it "Out-With" (means
Auschwitz). Because of his curiosity he wants to explore his new environment, Bruno is told that certain
places are restricted for him to go and visit (concentration camps). Unable to fight his adventurous
spirit, however, Bruno goes for a walk into the unknown one afternoon. Bruno comes upon a scary fence
that he follows until he sees a young boy sitting on the other side of the fence.

Raised in a family during the 1940s in Berlin, the curious 8-year-old boy, Bruno, watches how his
world turns upside down when his father is being promoted and accepts an important position as a
commander in a strange place. Now, their new home is surrounded by high walls... Little kid who
watches soldiers who are armed to the teeth patrol the land, a dangerous electric fence keeps the
people inside away, and, inexplicably, all "farmers" wear the same striped outfit. However, on the other
side of the wire, Shmuel, a shaved little Jewish boy of nearly the same age as Bruno, has so many stories
to recount, and he, too, as Bruno, is convinced that the weird similar uniforms everybody is wearing,
are, in fact, pajamas. This becomes marvelous because Bruno's exciting new friend lived next to his
house. Because Bruno is so much curious about what is on the other side of electric walls he starts
digging a hole to go meet his friend's "farm". It will be a huge mistake because, in a few days poor, little
Shmuel will die and with him Bruno.

The little kids' naive attitude is both a strength and weakness of this film. What occurs on the
next of the door is, in fact, unbelievable. But though little kid aims to be an investigator when he grows
up, his passivity and failure to finish his puzzle tell him what's going on in a "farm" as he calls it,
diminishes him as an actor. It stretches his innocent mind to believe that an officer's son would have
absolute blindness about the political truths of the day. But that is the point of this film because the
world outside the fence is not known to little kid and it tells us the point of his naive, curious acting. In
the end, the huge weakness is that this poor, little child dies in "farm" he called it, to lack information
about it.

The film has its idea and it gets to your heart and makes you question yourself about it. I would
recommend this film to watch a few times as I did it. Everyone can find himself in this film as I did. I
would rate this film 10/10.
