Berlin 1942

When Bruno returns home from school one day, he discovers that his belongings are being 
packed in crates. His father has received a promotion and the family must move from their home 
to a new house far far away, where there is no one to play with and nothing to do. A tall fence 
running alongside stretches as far as the eye can see and cuts him off from the strange people he 
can see in the distance.

But Bruno longs to be an explorer and decides that there must be more to this desolate new place 
than meets the eye. While exploring his new environment, he meets another boy whose life and 
circumstances are very different to his own, and their meeting results in a friendship that has 
devastating consequences.
