In 1984, East Germany’s secret police agent Wiesler was ordered to spy on the playwright Dreyman and his girlfriend Sieland. Under all-round surveillance of Dreyman, Wiesler found himself gradually absorbed by the lives of the couple and even had forgotten about his motive in the first place.

Until one day, Dreyman published an anonymous article in a prominent West German newsweekly to reveal the long-concealed truth to the world, which infuriated the East German authorities. Sieland was therefore arrested and interrogated about the identity of the anonymous author. The author was not identified because of insufficient information. Years later, Dreyman was shocked to learn that he had been under full surveillance. He then realised that it was Wiesler who had concealed his illegal activities……

This film was awarded the Best Foreign Language Film at the 79th Academy Awards.
