The Reader

“Behind the mystery lies a truth that will make you question everything you know.”

A fifteen-year-old Michael Berg (David Kross) falls into a passionate affair with Hanna Schmitz (Kate Winslet), a tram conductor years his senior. She vanishes without explanation, leaving him bewildered and grieving. Years later, as a law student, Michael discovers Hanna in the dock at a war crimes trial, accused of atrocities committed as a concentration camp guard, and he must reckon with loving someone whose past cannot be reconciled.
