Never Look Away tells a compelling drama about the liberating power of art and human creativity. Inspired by real events and historical figures, the film spans three eras of German history and follows the life of painter Kurt Barnert, from his childhood in Nazi Germany, through his youth in communist East Germany, to the completion of his artistic development in West Germany.
