Colette

Arnost Lustig was one of the world's most-renowned literary authors of our time. Lustig's novel 'A Girl from Antwerp,' upon which this film 'Colette' is based, draws on the author's personal Nazi concentration-camp experience and his own recollection of several escape attempts from the hell of Auschwitz. The story of Pulitzer Prize nominee Lustig is about the power of love under extreme life circumstances. It is a story of young lovers and their vigorous determination to escape from a hopeless life condition and their courage to face death.
