Bruno (Asa Butterfiled) eight years, Shmuel (Jack Scanlon) has eight, but do not live their childhood in the same way. The first son of an authoritarian SS officer was forced to leave their beloved Berlin and his friends because of the transfer of his father and is a passionate story of adventure, who wants to do the great explorer. The second is forced to leave her home by force because of his religion. Bruno is bored in his new home, fails to make new friends because in reality there are none. Note, however, strange movements inside the house, sometimes a person with a uniform strip enters the kitchen and start peeling the potatoes, see black smoke from the smokestacks out behind the house and were forbidden from going back. Why?
Smhuel in his new home instead has many children around him, but he can not make us friends and prefers to be alone, they do work and bring wheelbarrows full of bricks. Why?
A path through the forest that separates the villa to the field will connect the two children and will eventually tie into a deep friendship. Innocence and awareness are the two main themes of the film: the innocence of Bruno and his questions directed all'amichetto, does not understand that to be so lucky to be in a field full of kids we can play and have a slumber so cute in blue and white stripes. The innocence of Elsa (Vera Farmiga a poignant) Bruno's mother, who believes that everything is fine and that the work of her husband is only to serve his country with pride and dignity. Opposite is the awareness of Shmuel that despite his being an only child, he understands, he sees with his own eyes the atrocities of the concentration camp every day and waits for the arrival of Bruno to speak with him and play checkers. Director Mark Herman directs this great movie allowing the audience to look through the eyes of two children, two points of view is completely different from each other that their disagreement will lead their lives to a common destiny. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is yes, a fairy tale about a friendship steel, but has a happy ending just like in history there is the presence of a real happy ending. The bond so special that unites them and pure will, though sad, the right and one worthy of the final film.
Bruno
