Told through the eyes of a young German boy, Bruno, who moves with his family to a new house located near a concentration camp. Bruno’s father is a German commandant commissioned to oversea operations at the camp, where Bruno is forbidden to go. Unbeknownst to his parents and sister, Bruno sneaks out of the family home frequently to explore, until he reaches the fence of the camp where he strikes up a friendship with a young Jewish boy on the other side, Shmuel. Bruno struggles to realize the true nature of the camp and what Shmuel is going through, as well as his fathers involvement, which leads him to make a disastrous decision.
