German drama written and directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. The film follows young painter Kurt Barnert (Tom Schilling) as he attends a Dresden art school and falls in love with fashion student Ellie Seeband (Paula Beer) during the 1950s. Frustrated and dissatisfied with the restrictions of life in East Germany, the couple flee to the West, but find that, even there, they remain haunted by their shared past of growing up under the Nazi regime of the 1930s.
