Description
East Berlin, November 1984. Stasi captain Wiesler is assigned to monitor the successful playwright Georg Dreymann and his partner, the celebrated actress Christa-Maria Sieland. By observing these "other" people and the resulting preoccupation with art and literature, Wiesler, an informer, learns about values such as free speech and thoughts that were previously foreign to him. A never-before-seen world opens up to him, and he finds it increasingly difficult to escape it. But despite his sudden self-doubt, the system can no longer be stopped. A dangerous game begins that destroys Wiesler's existence as well as the relationship between Dreymann and Sieland. By the time the Wall falls in 1989, everyone has paid a high price.
