He described it as dirty and was cautious in his attitude. The surrounding environment and Bruno's behavior secretly worried his mother, but the Nazi father stopped any behavior at home that doubted the established policies. Bruno secretly met a boy of the same age, Schmul, on the other side of the barbed wire and often brought him food to eat.

One day, Bruno decided to go to the other side of the barbed wire so as to see Schmul's father... This film is adapted from the novel of the same name by John Byrne and won the Audience Choice Award at the 2008 Chicago International Film Festival.[Collapse]
