Inspired by real events and spanning three eras of German history, the Academy Award-nominated Never Look Away tells the story of a young art student, Kurt (Tom Schilling) who falls in love with fellow student, Ellie (Paula Beer). Ellie’s father, Professor Seeband (Sebastian Koch), a famous doctor, 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 Seeband committed decades ago.
Directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck (Oscar winner for The Lives of Others), Never Look Away was selected for the main competition section of the 75th Venice International Film Festival, and is in the Official Competition at the forthcoming 2019 Sydney Film Festival.
