Synopsis

Ruth Becker, a defiant and cantankerous woman in Sydney, has made an uneasy peace with her past. In 1939, as the world teeters on the brink of war, revolutionary poet Ernst Toller reflects on his life in a New York hotel. When Toller's story reaches Ruth, it pulls her back into a shared history with friends who foresaw Nazi brutality and risked everything to stop it, testing their resolve in the face of hatred, art, love, and history.
