Young Bruno lives a wealthy lifestyle in prewar Germany along with his mother, elder sister, and SS Commandant father. The family relocates to the countryside where his father is assigned to take command a prison camp. A few days later, Bruno be friends another youth, strangely dressed in striped pyjamas, named Shmuel who lives behind an electrified fence.
Bruno will soon find out that he is not permitted to befriend his new friend as he is a Jew, and that the neighbouring yard is actually a prison camp for Jews awaiting extermination.
Although it starts of slow,you soon get wrapped up in the story and feel as if you are there.
It's amazing to see the different points of view and the acting is so believable you feel as if it is all happening there and then.I have cried at films while watching it but this is the only film that has made me want to sob. When it finished and the credits started rolling, no one moved from their seats or said anything. The last scene of this film is unforgettable and I was shocked. When people did start to get up an leave the cinema, still no one said anything.
It is the best film I have ever seen and recommend everyone sees it.
