Portrait (The)

Dupri Lessing is a famous gay artist living in Berlin in 1939. He is taken prisoner by the Nazi party and is asked by the high official Hermann Goering to paint his portrait in exchange for safe passage out of Germany. While painting Goerings portrait, Dupri learns of the horrors taking place at the concentration camps and undergoes a crisis. He also meets a kindred spirit in the form of a young Jewish concubine named Gerta who is sleeping with Goering. Initially disgusted by her behaviour, Dupri quickly learns of her motives, and she counsels him on how to proceed with his task. Sabotaging the portrait, Dupri suffers the consequences of his defiance and realizes the profound power of art in times of war.
