Good Trailer - In UK cinemas 17th April

John Halder (Viggo Mortensen) is the good German: a shy but decent retiring professor of literature who has just published a novel advocating compassionate euthanasia. He lives with an over-anxious wife, two needy children and a mother with senile dementia. His book research allowed him to investigate his personal predicament further, but he chose, at some risk, to explore the subject within the twisted climate of Nazi ideology. It is not long before Johns thesis arouses the interest of the Nazis, and he finds himself summoned to an interview with the Third Reich.
The times are uncertain, and John quickly realizes that even small choices can have devastating consequences. A paying research job turns into much more as John finds himself drawn deeper and deeper into the Nazi regime. Subtle pressure is applied, and gradually meek disinterest turns into cooperation and then collusion.

As John transforms, his marriage fails, and he finds himself drawn to a charismatic younger woman and one of his students played by Jodie Whittaker. But it is his lifelong friendship with Maurice (Jason Isaacs), a Jewish psychiatrist, that cuts deepest. As John sheds his professorial jacket for the brownshirt of the Nazi party, he finds that life, and personal choices, carry far more weight than he ever imagined.
