This is the well-known story of Winston Smith, a citizen of Oceania whose job it is to rewrite history for Big Brother, the autocratic symbol of a repressive regime that has forbidden such things as freedom of thought and expression--including sex. Winston becomes involved in an illict love affair with Julia, a young woman who works in the Ministry of Truth. Unfortunately for Winston, a high-ranking member of the government, O'Brien, who has looked upon him as a protege, discovers the rebellion.
