As a young German-Jewish art student at The Berlin Art Academy during Hitler's rise to power in 1938, Charlotte's first place prize is denied because she is a Jew, her enrollment annulled.

  When Charlotte's grandmother leaps to her death, her Old World grandfather shocks her with the family secret, a legacy of female suicides. She struggles against her grandfather's insistence that suicide, not art, is her destiny too. 
   
   
   
  Haunted by the encroaching terror of the Third Reich and the threat of psychological disintegration, Charlotte clings to her determination to become a serious modernist painter, to complete her monumental work "Life? Or Theater?" and get it into safekeeping in a race against time before capture by the Nazis.

  Reflections on Happiness

  Reflections on Happiness by Gabrielle Émilie Le Tonnelier de Breteuil, Marquise du Châtelet, is a philosophical essay exploring the nature of happiness and its relationship to human life. Written in the 18th century, the work reflects the marquise's deep engagement with the intellectual currents of her time, particularly the Enlightenment. In this piece, she examines the concept of happiness, questioning what it truly means to live a fulfilled and meaningful life. 
  Du Châtelet argues that happiness is not simply a passive state of contentment but is closely linked to the pursuit of reason, virtue, and intellectual growth. She critiques the idea that material wealth or external circumstances alone can bring lasting happiness, suggesting instead that a person’s inner life—shaped by rational thought, self-control, and personal development—plays a crucial role in achieving fulfillment. Moreover, she posits that happiness is a complex and individual experience, shaped by both reason and emotions, and that it is more sustainable when it is aligned with one’s own nature and values. 
  Throughout the work, du Châtelet blends insights from philosophy, science, and personal reflection, offering a nuanced understanding of happiness as both a goal and a process. The essay reflects her belief in the power of human agency and the importance of intellectual and emotional balance in the pursuit of a meaningful life.
