About the film

"After the Nazi catastrophe, only the artist can give people back their sense of freedom."

Inspired by real events and spanning three eras of German history, Never Look Away tells the story of Kurt, a young art student who falls in love with fellow student, Ellie. Ellie’s father, Professor Seeband, 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.
