Our suggestions
Bored and restless in his new home, Bruno, an innocent and naive eight year old, ignores his mother and sets off on an adventure in the woods. Soon he meets a young boy, and a surprising friendship develops. Set during World War II, this remarkable and inspiring story about the power of the human spirit will capture your heart and engage your mind.
"The Holocaust, seen through the lens of an unlikely yet as beautiful and innocent childhood friendship. Besides the differentiated view on one of the darkest moments of human history, it brings great performances, with a highlight for Asa Butterfield's first major role, which he would later shine in 'Hugo Cabret', and for the always competent Vera Farmiga."
