THE STORY: Berlin, 1933. With martial law in effect, political activism has become a capital crime. The Gestapo has arrested a graduate student suspected of conducting illegal research. She undergoes intense questioning, and the arrival of a lawyer sent to defend her only complicates matters. But the encounter takes surprising turns as an earnest young officer must interrogate the iconic political thinker Hannah Arendt—a woman in possession of untold wit, charm, and ideas. Inspired by real events, this fantastical drama delves into the life and mind of one of history’s deepest thinkers.
