Robert travaille dans une agence de voyage avec Lenka, qui se vante souvent de ses biens et du prestige de son mari, un chirurgien respecté. Robert, franc et sensé, préfère cependant la vie de célibataire et choisit de rester libre des pressions des relations. Il ne connaît que trop l'absurdité de l'existence : son autre travail consiste à créer soigneusement et de toutes pièces des scènes de la vie tchèque 'de tous les jours' pour des touristes japonais fascinés. Il a pourtant une amie : Hanka, une femme têtue et légèrement hystérique.

In 1984 East Germany, Stasi Captain (Hauptmann) HGW XX/7, Gerd Wiesler, suggests to his superiors that he begin to spy on the playwright Georg Dreyman. Wiesler and his team bug the apartment, set up surveillance equipment in an attic and begin reporting Dreyman's activities. Dreyman had escaped state scrutiny due to his pro-Communist views and international recognition. Wiesler soon learns the real reason behind the surveillance: Minister of Culture Bruno Hempf covets Dreyman's girlfriend, actress Christa-Maria Sieland, and is trying to eliminate Dreyman as a romantic rival. While Wiesler's superior, Lt. Col. Anton Grubitz, sees an opportunity for advancement, Wiesler, an idealist, is horrified, asking Grubitz "Is this why we joined?" Minister Hempf coerces Sieland into having sex with him by exploiting her vulnerability as an insecure actress whose livelihood is dependent on state approval of stagecraft. After discovering Sieland's relationship with Hempf (through Wiesler's covert intervention), Dreyman implores her not to meet him again. Sieland flees to a nearby bar where Wiesler, posing as a fan, urges her to be true to herself. She returns home and reconciles with Dreyman, rejecting Hempf.
