English Summary:
The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (released as The Boy in the Striped Pajamas in the United States) is a British 2008 historical tragedy film set in World War II, based on John Boyne's 2006 novel of the same name. Written and directed by Mark Herman, produced by BBC Films and Heyday Films, and distributed by Miramax, the film stars Jack Scanlon in the title role. It was released on 12 September 2008 in the United Kingdom.
A young boy named Bruno lives in Berlin, in Nazi Germany during World War II. His father Ralf is promoted, and relocates the family to the "countryside" (occupied Poland). Living without neighbours, far from any town, Bruno becomes lonely and bored. After spotting people working on what he thinks is a farm in the distance – actually a concentration camp – he is forbidden from playing in the back garden.
Bruno and his sister Gretel’s tutor, Herr Liszt, pushes an agenda of antisemitism and Nazi propaganda. This, together with Gretel's infatuation with Lieutenant Kurt Kotler, makes her fanatical in her support for the Third Reich, to the point of covering her bedroom wall with posters and portraits of Adolf Hitler. Bruno is confused, as the only Jew he has seen, the family's servant Pavel, does not resemble the antisemitic caricatures in Liszt's teachings.
Hungarian Summary:
A nyolcéves Bruno gondtalanul éli hétköznapjait Berlinben, a Harmadik Birodalom központjában, büszke katona apjára, de nem sejti, hogy családjával együtt hamarosan átirányítják őt, méghozzá egy olyan helyre, ami nemhogy gyerekeknek, de embernek sem való. Mert a papa bizony egy koncentrációs tábor élére kerül valahol Lengyelországban, és ott valódi náci elhivatottsággal ügyködik, miközben az anyuka gyermekeit félti a borzalmaktól, és próbálja megakadályozni, hogy Bruno megtudja, mi történik valójában szolgálati villájuk szomszédságában.
