About the film
Sophie's Choice is a film based on the novel by William Styron. It follows Sophie Zawistowska, a Polish-Catholic survivor of Nazi concentration camps, who carries the weight of her past choices. Her relationship with Nathan Landau and her confessions to the young narrator, Stingo, reveal the impact of historical trauma.
