Watch the Trailer

Synopsis: Based on a fable by author John Boyne, this is a beautiful and tender movie about a horrifying story, told through the eyes of an innocent 8 year old boy. When his family moves from their home in Berlin to a strange new house in Poland, young Bruno (Asa Butterfield) befriends Shmuel (Jack Scanlon), a boy who lives on the other side of the fence, where everyone seems to be wearing striped pajamas. Unaware of Shmuel's fate as a Jewish prisoner or the role his own Nazi father plays in his imprisonment, Bruno embarks on a dangerous journey inside the camp's walls.

This movie will touch your heart if you have one! The kids Asa Butterfield and Jack Scanlon are par excellent in their performance. I must warn you that the movie is disturbing, but it is so beautifully made that you will feel it deep in your guts!
