As a child during
Nazi-era Germany, Kurt Barnert visits an exhibit of Degenerate Art in Dresden
with his beautiful young aunt Elisabeth. While there, he is mesmerized by Girl
with Blue Hair, a modernist sculpture by Eugen Hoffmann.
At a Nazi Party rally,
Elisabeth – a member of the National Socialist Women's League – is given the
honour of personally presenting a bouquet of flowers to Adolf Hitler, a task
she takes to with great pride.
Later that day at home,
Kurt walks in on a nude Elisabeth playing Bach's music on the piano. She tells
a startled Kurt to "never look away" because "everything that is
true holds beauty in it." Elisabeth then begins hitting a single piano
note repeatedly, rambling euphorically that she is "playing a concert for
the Führer", and then begins deliriously hitting herself on the head with
a broken ashtray.
