About
In 1984 East Berlin, a Stasi captain is assigned to monitor a playwright and his actress partner, listening in from the attic.
In 1984 East Berlin, Stasi captain Gerd Wiesler (Ulrich Mühe) is assigned to monitor playwright Georg Dreyman (Sebastian Koch). Dreyman is internationally recognised and has pro-communist sympathies, and until now the state has not placed him under direct surveillance. Wiesler and his team install listening equipment in Dreyman's apartment and report on his activities. Dreyman lives there with his partner, the actress Christa-Maria Sieland (Martina Gedeck). Wiesler's superior, Anton Grubitz (Ulrich Tukur), is involved in the operation, which is set up at the request of Minister of Culture Bruno Hempf (Thomas Thieme). From the attic of the building, Wiesler listens to the couple's daily life.
