The story of Kurt, a young art student who falls in love with fellow student, Ellie. Ellie’s father is dismayed at his daughter’s choice of boyfriend, and vows to destroy the relationship. What neither of them knows is that their lives are already connected through a terrible crime.

A decade after achieving Oscar® glory with The Lives of Others, Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck revisited Germany’s postwar history. Loosely inspired by the life of artist Gerhard Richter, this moving intergenerational epic is anchored by marvelous performances from Tom Schilling and Paula Beer.
