About
A German artist haunted by his childhood under the Nazis falls for a fellow art student whose father opposes the relationship.
Never Look Away follows Kurt Barnert (Tom Schilling), a German artist who grows up during the Nazi era and later studies art in East Germany. As a child in Dresden, he visits an exhibition of so-called Degenerate Art with his aunt Elisabeth (Saskia Rosendahl), where a modernist sculpture captivates him. At a Nazi rally, Elisabeth is given the honour of presenting a bouquet of flowers to Adolf Hitler. Later, Kurt meets fellow art student Ellie (Paula Beer) and falls in love with her, but her father, Professor Carl Seeband (Sebastian Koch), opposes the relationship. Kurt eventually flees East Germany for West Germany, where his childhood memories continue to haunt him.
