From the director of Billy Elliot and The Hours, this haunting postwar romance, based on the best-selling novel by German author Bernhard Schlink, stars Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes and is hotly tipped as a contender for an Oscar. Set in postwar Germany, it tells the story of a man whose life has been shaped by an illicit affair with a passionate, elusive older woman during his youth. Now a young lawyer involved in a war crimes trial, he is horrified to find his former lover among the defendants.
O gyfarwyddwr Billy Elliot a The Hours, mae’r rhamant ôl-rhyfel hon, wedi ei seilio ar nofel lwyddiannus yr awdur Almaenig Bernhard Schlink, yn cynnwys y sêr Kate Winslet a Ralph Fiennes, ac mae eisoes yn cael ei ffafrio ar gyfer ennill Oscar. Wedi ei gosod yn yr Almaen yn y cyfnod wedi’r rhyfel, mae’n adrodd stori am fywyd dyn a ffurfiwyd gan berthynas â gwraig nwydus, hŷn, pan oedd yn ifanc. Nawr yn gyfreithiwr mewn prawf troseddau’r rhyfel, mae’n darganfod ei gyn-gariad ymhlith y diffynyddion.
