"It all begins in 1919 in a forest on the outskirts of Berlin: Otto Mueller paints "Two Female Half Nudes". In the Expressionist artist's studio and from the wall of its first owner, the painting observes everyday life before it is swept away by the tribulations of this dark time...
Passed from hand to hand, "Two Female Half Nudes" becomes a witness to the rise and seizure of power by National Socialism, state anti-Semitism and the expropriation of Jewish families, the National Socialist defamation of modern art as "degenerate", ostracism, despair, war - and survival."
