A boy in the striped pajamas (part.1)

An 8-year-old German boy Bruno lives a wealthy life in Pre-war Germany along with his mother, elder sister, and army Commandant father. Because of the promotion of his father, Bruno and his families move to the countryside where, in fact, his father is assigned to commandeer a prison camp.

The new home is quite boring for little Bruno, except for a small window in his bedroom, through which he finds a “farm”. Despite his parents’ total opposition, Bruno decides to “explore” the forbidden place secretly. To his great joy, Bruno gets to befriend Shmuel---a little boy in the striped pajamas and lives in the “farm”. They play chess, they chat, and they play soccer together over the high electric fence. But Bruno soon finds out that he is not permitted to befriend his new friend as he is a Jew, and that the neighboring “farm” is actually a prison camp for Jews.

The strong stench in the air and the heavy smoke far away in the sky let out the secret of the camp. The kind mother is so worried about his kids that finally she decides to take them away from the horrible place. Before leaving, Bruno decides to slip into the camp in pajamas and help Shmuel find his father who has been lost for three days. He starts his last and the most important exploring in his life.

It begins to rain heavily. Bruno and Shmuel, together with a huge crowd of people, were driven into a dark room, which, in fact, is used to execute the Jews. Looking at these horrified people around them, Bruno and Shmuel have no idea what is going to happen next.
The rain is still pouring, the screamings come from the execution room gradually die down, only the bellowing cry of the mother, who finds Bruno’s clothes, lying outside the camp.
