Years later, Michael is a law school student studying under Professor Rohl (BRUNO GANZ). When they go to observe a Nazi war crimes trial, Michael is shocked to see Hanna as one of the defendants, and hear stories from the likes of Rose Mather (LENA OLIN) about the atrocities that Hanna and others allegedly committed. From that point on, and then years again later, Michael must come to terms with that, as well as the aftereffects of Hanna's past actions, including on the likes of Rose's now adult daughter, Ilana (LENA OLIN).
There's an off-screen suicide, while that and some scenes, including those related to concentration camps (mostly talk, but there's also a visit to a long abandoned one), may be unsettling for some viewers. Various characters drink and/or smoke, while one visibly vomits from being ill (non-alcohol related). Bad attitudes are present, as is some tense family material.
