When his family moves from their home in Berlin to a strange new house in Poland, young Bruno befriends Shmuel, 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.
A heavy, suffocating stillness settles over the barbed-wire fence as two boys build a friendship rooted in total innocence. This devastating fable uses a child's limited perspective to expose the monstrous reality of the Holocaust.
