The
brilliant chemists Clara and Fritz want to change the world. At the end of the
19th century Clara has to struggle to be admitted to a university to study.
When WWI breaks out Fritz Haber volunteers for the army. The dreadful poison
gas he develops changes the war. Clara sees all her ideals and dreams betrayed
by the man she loves.
The film tells the life story of the first PhD

morality in science and the role of a woman as a scientist at the beginning of
the 20th century.
