Charlotte Salomon is born into a family stricken by suicide and a country at war.
The Nazis have come to power and, as a Jew in Berlin, Charlotte\'s life is narrowing, and she knows every second is precious.
Inspiring, unflinching, terrible and hopeful, Charlotte is the heartbreaking true story of a life filled with curiosity, animated by genius and cut short by hatred..
But just as she is coming into her own as an artist, death is coming to control her country.
And she has a great love, for a brilliant, eccentric musician.
But there is something exceptional about her - she has a gift, a talent for painting.
