In 1960, Israel announced the arrest of Adolf Eichmann, a former high-ranking Nazi German official and known as the "executioner", who was tried in Jerusalem in 1961. Hannah Arendt (Barbara Sukowa), a famous Jewish female philosopher who has lived in the United States for many years, was invited by The New Yorker to write for the trial. When Hannah Arendt traveled to Jerusalem to watch the trial, she found a disagreement between Eichmann's account, public opinion, and her own philosophical thinking. When Arendt elevated Eichmann's behavior to a philosophical level, her article unsurprisingly aroused social criticism and criticism, and some of Hannah Arendt's old friends even broke up with her. The most proud female student under Heidegger wanted to get out of the storm, but found that everything was not as simple as she expected.
