Synopsis
Based on the bestselling novel of the same name written by Markus Zusak, the story is about the adventures of an illiterate girl, Liesel, in Germany during World War II. Liesel was encouraged by her foster father to learn reading secretly, and since then she had fallen in love with books. She shared her passion for reading with Max, a Jew hiding in her adopted family’s basement to escape from Nazi Germany. She also befriended another youngster neighbour, Rudy, who kept the secret of their theft of books. The power of words helped Liesel escape from the miserable world, and her life had changed ever since.
