A documentary following the life of German-British painter Frank Auerbach, from his birth in Berlin in 1931 and an orphaned refugee childhood to his international acclaim. Written, produced and directed by his son Jake Auerbach, who also sat for his father, the film is an intimate portrait of a famously private artist.
The film brings together a generous selection of Auerbach's paintings, along with a recently discovered archive of family photographs and early work never seen before. These images are woven together with three major filmed interviews with the artist, offering a closer look at a remarkable life.
