Michael Berg (David Kross), a teenager in postwar Germany, enters into a passionate but clandestine affair with Hanna Schmitz (Kate Winslet), a much older woman who enjoys having classic novels read to her. But, Hanna mysteriously disappears one day, leaving Michael heartbroken and confused. Years later, Michael, now a law student, gets the shock of his life when he sees Hanna on trial for Nazi war crimes.
