    This winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film is set in 1984 in East Germany and Gerd Wiesler is a respected, by-the-book member of the Stasi (East German Secret Police). He is asked by his superior to head up a surveillance mission of a playwright and his actress-girlfriend. They appear to be good socialists and never overtly criticize the government, but are suspected of leading a double life. To complicate matters, a highly placed minister wants the actress for his own - something that would be facilitated if the playwright was out of the picture. Wiesler goes into the mission intending to uncover instances of anti-state duplicity, but the more he listens to what transpires in their apartment, the more involved he becomes in the their day-to-day living.
