Against her parents' wish that she become a seamstress, Charlotte wins a place at the Academy of Fine Arts and works in an expressionist style. Albert is sent to a concentration camp and returns two months later; his and Paula's exit visa sends Charlotte to southern France, where she lives with Ottilie Moore and her grandparents.
