The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (The Boy in the Striped Pajamas in the United States) is a 2008 British drama film directed by Mark Herman and produced by David Heyman, starring Asa Butterfield, Jack Scanlon, David Thewlis, and Vera Farmiga. It is based on the book of the same name by Irish novelist John Boyne.[1]

The film tells the story of Bruno, a nine-year-old German boy who leads a rather comfortable life in Berlin during the World War II. His father is a high ranking Nazi SS officer, but things change when the family has to move due to his father's new post.

Eventually Bruno becomes friends with a Jewish boy his own age who lives on the other side of the gate.
