- Synopsis
At the onset of the 20th century, Egon Schiele is one of the most provocative artists in Vienna. He sets off scandals and is tried for allegedly violating a 13-year-old girl. His life and work are steeped in eroticism and transience. Women are the fuel for his art, especially his younger sister Gerti and 17-year-old Wally Neuzil. Wally is probably his first real love, immortalized in his painting "Death and the Maiden." The outbreak of the First World War brings the 24-year-old artist into an existential crisis. He sacrifices Wally.
