This film sports a great concept and appears to sell it. A bored German boy who's father is an Nazi officer, makes a secret friend with another boy who is a prisoner in a concentration camp. The two develop a friendship, ignorant of the horrible adult conflict that consumes their world. This film will be made in the final act and how filmmaker Mark Herman handles the resolution. The hook of the film certainly sets up the possibility for a strong conclusion to the story. The film is an adaptation of the book by John Boyne. I'm interested to see this one.
