The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

Released 12 September 2008

All you need to know about my work here, Bruno, is that it is very important to our country.

Adapted by Mark Herman from the best-selling book by John Boyne, the film is a story seen through the eyes of an eight year old boy largely shielded from the reality of World War II.

This unforgettable tale follows an unlikely friendship that forms between Bruno, the son of a Nazi commandant, and Shmuel, a Jewish boy held captive in a concentration camp. Though the two are separated physically by a barbed-wire fence, their friendship grows and their lives become inescapably intertwined.
