In 1947, the movie’s narrator, Stingo (Peter MacNicol), a young writer from the American South, travels to post-WW II Brooklyn. He is befriended by Sophie Zawistowski (Streep), a beautiful Polish immigrant, and her lover, Nathan Landau (Kline). It is clear to Stingo from the serial number tattooed into Sophie’s forearm that she is no stranger to pain.

One evening, Stingo talks with Sophie and learns some more about her past: that she was married but her husband and her father were killed in a German work camp. When Stingo notices scars on Sophie’s wrists, Sophie explains that after being rescued from Auschwitz she was taken to a refugee camp in Sweden, but whilst there she went to a church, broke a glass, and cut her wrists. Sophie goes into another room where Nathan spends a lot of his time and finds another wine bottle. The walls are covered in images of the Holocaust, prompting Sophie to explain that it is Nathan’s obsession.

Sophie and Nathan’s relationship is endangered both by Sophie’s ghosts and Nathan’s obsession with the Holocaust, as well as his violent temper and increasingly apparent mental illness. When Stingo visits a man who knew Sophie’s father, he discovers she’s been lying to him. He learns that Sophie’s father, a Polish college professor, hated Jews. Later, when Stingo talks to Sophie about this, she explains, with more about her past emerging through a series of harrowing flashbacks.

Sophie reveals that in the winter of 1938, her father was working on a speech he called “Poland’s Jewish Problem”. In a flashback, Sophie listens to a recording of a man speaking in both German and Polish, whilst she is typing a speech for her father. While typing, she hears a word repeated several times that she has never heard before. She goes back a bit, and hears the voice say that the solution for “Poland’s Jewish Problem” is “extermination”.

Something makes Sophie go to the Jewish ghetto, where she looks at all the people her father has condemned to die. She suddenly remembers that her father is waiting for his speech and hurries home to finish the typing. In her haste, Sophie makes a lot of mistakes and hurries to university. Her father reads the speech in front of a large crowd of people and becomes very angry.
