Charlotte Salomon grows up in Berlin under the shadow of a family tragedy and is step by step excluded from German life by the Nazis. After a life-changing love she escapes to France and, in exile, paints a strikingly modern cycle about her own life before her early death. A writer obsessed with her follows her trail.
