About the German artist Käthe Kollwitz (1867-1945) who worked with painting, printmaking (including etching, lithography and woodcuts) and sculpture. She died at Moritzburg, near Dresden, in April 1945, shortly before the end of WWII. As the film begins she is an old woman in the last months of her life, contemplating death. Using words taken from her diaries and letters, she looks back over her life and work.
