Bruno is a son of a German official. Because of his dad's work, his family had to leave Berlin and move to a concentration camp. The decision baffles him, but Fury has big plans for his dad.

It's tough for the 9-year-old to adjust to his new life. There are no friends, and he misses everything about Berlin.

Eventually, he befriends a kid from the other side of the fence named Shmuelin.

Both of them meet daily and discuss their reflections of the world.

Bruno tries his best to counter the absurd things said by Shmuelin. He has an innocent yet rational take towards all the wrongdoings around him.

However, with time Bruno learns about the grim reality.
