When 15 year old Michael was coming back from school he becomes sick and gets helped by a woman in her thirties. Ten years later they encounter each other and discover that she is facing a war-crime trial.
A decades-spanning drama that dives into the slippery human nature of lust, manipulation, retribution and doubt. "The Reader" is a phenomenally tragic story of people eternally connected, never knowing whether it's by true love or unshakable regret.
