A grim tale told through the eyes of children on both sides of Nazi Germany.

"We're not supposed to be friends, you and I. We're meant to be enemies. Did you know that?"
This film, while very well made, is quite unsettling to watch the entire way through. At times it is sweet, but mostly sad and upsetting. It shows the naivety and the innocence of both a wealthy German boy and a Jewish boy in a concentration camp who begin a forbidden friendship. Both of the children suffer the same horrific fate at the end of the movie, unaware of what they've got coming to them. It's definitely not for the faint of heart.
