Bruno doesn't get an invite for any of the birthday parties in his 2nd grade class. He does not play with the boys and will never really be “one of the girls”. Bruno doesn't want his parents to bother, because for him it has always been like this. As Bruno’s Iranian dad, Marlon is being confronted with his son’s “otherness”, and he is forced to deal with it.
