The Reader

Set in post-WWII Germany, The Reader follows the life-altering journey of Michael Berg, a teenager who enters into a passionate but secretive affair with Hanna Schmitz, an older woman who enjoys being read to. Years after her mysterious disappearance, Michael, now a law student, is shocked to find Hanna on trial for horrific Nazi war crimes committed while she was a concentration camp guard. As the trial unfolds, Michael discovers a deeply personal secret that Hanna has protected her entire life—a secret she deems more shameful than her past—which could potentially change the outcome of her sentencing but leaves Michael in a moral dilemma that haunts him for decades.
