أمي أخشى أن لدي بعض الأخـبار السـيئة

00:00:04.295 --> 00:00:07.131

جولـيا تعـرف لقد أخـبرناها بالفعـل

00:00:07.423 --> 00:00:10.998

جـيرترود وأنا سوف ننفصـل

00:00:10.177 --> 00:00:15.057

لم تأت في جـنازة أبيـك لكـنك أتيت لأجـل ذلك

00:00:16.183 --> 00:00:18.999

ليـس سـهلا علي زيـارة هـذه البلـدة

00:00:18.226 --> 00:00:19.811

هل كنت تعيسـا لهـذا الحـد

00:00:19.978 --> 00:00:23.649

لم أقـل ذلك ولم أقصـده مـاذا إذن

00:00:26.276 --> 00:00:28.779

لا يجب أن تقـلقي بشـأن جـيرترود

00:00:29.146 --> 00:00:31.365

سأقـوم برعـايتهـا على أية حـال

00:00:31.371 --> 00:00:32.991

فهي تعـمل بالادعـاء العـام

00:00:33.158 --> 00:00:34.703

وهي تربـح أكـثر ممـا أفعـل

00:00:35.638 --> 00:00:40.609

مايكـل لسـت قلقة بشـأن جـيرترود

00:00:41.376 --> 00:00:43.729

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:03.969

Maman j'ai malheureusement des nouvelles pas très drôles

00:00:04.001 --> 00:00:07.461

00:00:09.342 --> 00:00:11.503

Gertrud et moi Tu ne viens pas

00:00:11.544 --> 00:00:13.444

pour les funérailles de ton père

00:00:13.479 --> 00:00:15.047

mais tu viens pour ça

00:00:15.515 --> 00:00:17.983

C'est difficile pour moi de revoir cette ville

00:00:18.999 --> 00:00:19.484

Est ce que tu y étais

00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:21.987

00:00:22.001 --> 00:00:24.387

Je ne l'entendais pas comme ça Eh bien alors

00:00:26.999 --> 00:00:28.516

Ne te fais pas de souci pour Gertrud

00:00:28.561 --> 00:00:30.001

Je vais prendre soin d'elle

00:00:30.129 --> 00:00:32.927

De toute façon elle est déjà procureur d'État alors

00:00:32.965 --> 00:00:35.049

00:00:35.535 --> 00:00:37.196

Michael

00:00:37.236 --> 00:00:40.763

Es fällt mir schwer in diese Stadt zu kommen Warst du so unglücklich

00:00:23.144 --> 00:00:25.813

Das meine ich nicht Was dann

00:00:26.271 --> 00:00:32.652

Sorg dich nicht um Gertrude ich kümmere mich um sie sie ist schon Staatsanwältin

00:00:33.153 --> 00:00:34.987

und verdienst mehr als ich

00:00:35.614 --> 00:00:44.244

It's not easy for me to visit this town

00:00:18.226 --> 00:00:21.354

Were you really so unhappy That's not what I'm saying

00:00:21.437 --> 00:00:23.898

It's not what I meant Well then

00:00:26.275 --> 00:00:30.613

You mustn't worry about Gertrud I'm going to look after her

00:00:30.696 --> 00:00:34.992

She's already a state prosecutor so she earns far more than I do

Ты не был на похоронах отца но приехал чтобы сообщить об этом

00:00:16.349 --> 00:00:19.685

Мне нелегко приезжать сюда Неужели здесь ты так несчастен

00:00:19.852 --> 00:00:22.073

00:00:19.977 --> 00:00:22.188

Movie Summary

The story of Michael Berg, a German lawyer who, as a teenager in the late 1950s, had an affair with an older woman, Hanna, who then disappeared only to resurface years later as one of the defendants in a war crimes trial stemming from her actions as a concentration camp guard late in the war. He alone realizes that Hanna is illiterate and may be concealing that fact at the expense of her freedom.
