The Affair
David Kross plays Michael Berg, a 15-year-old student who meets a woman with whom he begins an affair. Hanna Schmitz (Kate Winslet), who is reticent about her background, is eager to have the young man read literature to her -- Homer, Chekhov, Tolstoy, Mark Twain, D. H. Lawrence -- before making love.
