This movie is about two kids, a German boy (Bruno) and a Jewish boy (Shmuel) who dresses in striped pyjamas. Bruno is living a normal life in Berlin as the son of a high-ranking Nazi soldier, when his father is suddenly transferred to a job out in the country. Bruno, his sister Gretel and mother must all join him, so his father is assigned to commandeer a prison camp, but Bruno thinks that this prison camp is a ‘farm’. Bruno likes exploring, for this reason he knows Shmuel, they start a friendship although Bruno knows that his friendship with Shmuel is dangerous, but he considers that Jews are kind people, he has begun to question the Nazi doctrine of hate and war.
These children demonstrate the true value to us of friendship, because during the time which shared together they kept the confidence, sincerity, bravery, love and adventure. In spite of the obstacles and differences, they tried to live the present through the mutual aid. In fact they never left that an electrified fence separated them, because their hearts followed united although their parents and the nation would be against. I think it is a remarkable story because it makes us wake up our deeper feelings, furthermore the cause that is carried out by children makes sadder and sensitive simultaneously. Really it is worth to watch this film not only because it is pretty but because it teaches to us that the friendship does not have limit or differences
