Colette

Arnost Lustig, celebrated as one of the most distinguished literary figures of our era, penned the novel ‘A Girl from Antwerp,’ which serves as the foundation for our film, Colette. This work is deeply rooted in Lustig’s personal experiences in Nazi concentration camps, including his memories of multiple escape attempts from the horrors of Auschwitz. The narrative, crafted by Pulitzer Prize nominee Lustig, explores the formidable strength of love amidst dire circumstances. It tells the tale of young lovers who exhibit unwavering resolve to break free from a life of despair and display remarkable bravery in confronting death.
