THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PYJAMAS

BEFORE WATCHING: PLOT SUMMARY.

Young Bruno lives a wealthy lifestyle in prewar Germany (World War II) along with his mother, elder sister, and SS Commandant father. The family relocates to the countryside where his father is assigned to take command of a prison camp. A few days later, Bruno meets another boy, 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 neighboring yard is actually a prison camp for Jews awaiting extermination.
