Young artist Kurt Barnert has fled to West Germany but continues to be tormented by the experiences of his childhood and youth in the Nazi years and during the GDR-regime. When he meets student Ellie, he is convinced that he has met the love of his life and starts to create paintings that mirror not only his own fate, but also the traumas of an entire generation - Oscar nominated.

When two German art students fall in love, the girl's father vows to end their relationship, but their lives are already intertwined by a devastating secret. An epic intergenerational tale of art, love, tragedy, and politics. Provocative storytelling from the writer/director of the "The Lives of Others". Superb cinematography along with a lustrous, hypnotic score underpins a stunning masterpiece, one of the best films you may see this year.
