Videos and DVDs
Haunting Second World War drama based on the novel by John Boyne. Eight-year-old Bruno (Asa Butterfield), whose father (David Thewlis) is the commandant at a Nazi concentration camp, has just moved with his family into a new house in the countryside, and feels imprisoned by his mother (Vera Farmiga)'s persistent warnings never to venture beyond the garden's high walls. From what he can make of the view from his bedroom window, he thinks he must be living on a strange sort of farm where the workers seem to get straight out of bed and go to work on the fields. When his curiosity leads him through an open door and up to a vast electric fence, he meets a boy there of exactly his own age - but with a very different story to tell.
