a young boy and his family are moved from berlin to the country where his father has a new job, overseeing the gassing of jews in the country. the boy asks questions and begins his own investigation into the farm where the pajama clad people work, his enquiries lead him to see a propaganda film where the residents are enjoying dancing, sports and culture, sometimes they go to the cafe where they eat cakes and drink tea. the boy sneaks out of the house, he meets another boy on the other side of the fence, a jew. they become friends. the story is 'the boy in stripped pajamas.'
the film is excellent although in reality all children were killed before they were in camps. never mind, its a great film, stunning. the audience was silent and remained in their seats long after the film finished. i usually avoid these types of films but this was exceptionally well made and acted.
