Kate Winslet delivers a dynamic performance in this tale of eroticism, secrecy and guilt set in post-Nazi Germany. Winslet is riveting as Hanna Schmitz - a lonely, working-class woman who experiences a brief but intense affair with a teenage boy. Years later they meet again: Hanna now a defendant in a notorious case and her ex lover, now a law student, holding the secret to her salvation.
