To commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day 2022, prepare yourself for an unforgettably powerful and viscerally moving cinematic experience. During World War II, 8-year-old Bruno and his family leave Berlin to take up residence near the concentration camp where his father has just become commandant.
Unhappy and lonely, he wanders out behind his house one day and finds Shmuel, a Jewish boy of his age. Though the barbed-wire fence of the camp separates them, the boys begin a forbidden friendship, oblivious to the sinister nature of their surroundings. A timeless story of innocence lost and humanity found.
