The Reader opens in post-WWII Germany when teenager Michael Berg becomes ill and is helped home by Hanna (Kate Winslet), a stranger twice his age. Michael recovers from scarlet fever and seeks out Hanna to thank her. The two are quickly drawn into a passionate but secretive affair. Years later, as a law student, Michael attends a trial to find that Hanna was an ex-Nazi Death Camp guard, accused of sending scores of women to their death in the gas chambers.
