"The Boy in Striped Pajamas" is a drama based on the novel of the same name published by the new Irish writer John Byrne in 2006. Directed by Mark Herman, co-starring Asha Butterfield, Vera Farmega and Rupert Flender. The film tells that during World War II, eight-year-old Bruno was the son of the German commander of the concentration camp. He formed a friendship with a Jewish boy on the other side of the concentration camp fence. Muel told Bruno that his father had disappeared for three days. Bruno decided to use the last Doing something for him during his time, so he also put on a striped pajamas and crawled into the concentration camp from under a piece of loose barbed wire. However, ruthless fate made a big joke with the little boy Bruno, and his life will come to an end.
