Fiercely imaginative and deeply gifted, she dreams of becoming an artist. Her first love applauds her talent, which emboldens her resolve. But the world around her is changing quickly and dangerously, limiting her options and derailing her dream. When anti-Semitic policies inspire violent mobs, she leaves Berlin for the safety of the South of France. There she begins to paint again, and finds new love. But her work is interrupted, this time by a family tragedy that reveals an even darker secret. Believing that only the extraordinary will save her, she embarks on the monumental adventure of painting her life story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Available on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kanopy.com\/en\/product\/charlotte-1\">Kanopy<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/tv.apple.com\/us\/movie\/charlotte\/umc.cmc.5lfdb9j4zqbx8xlw4vpnvzicq?playableId=tvs.sbd.9001%3A1615583810\">AppleTV<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/video\/detail\/0FVF8WCGQPOR9TB7LPCELEBH2B\/ref=atv_dl_rdr?tag=justus1ktp-20\">Amazon Video<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/movies\/details\/Charlotte?gl=US&amp;hl=en&amp;id=hez_1KcCV8A.P\">GooglePlay<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9_8e1Ykn-Yk\">YouTube<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vudu.com\/content\/browse\/details\/Charlotte\/2021748\">Fandango<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hulu.com\/movie\/charlotte-5de046fb-196f-4be5-b184-6314bed198f6\">Hulu<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/villa-albertine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/90b38e2c145743f115f605d6077e06a8-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-615945\" srcset=\"https:\/\/villa-albertine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/90b38e2c145743f115f605d6077e06a8-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/villa-albertine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/90b38e2c145743f115f605d6077e06a8-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/villa-albertine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/90b38e2c145743f115f605d6077e06a8-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/villa-albertine.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/90b38e2c145743f115f605d6077e06a8.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><p>D-Day: Normandy 1944 \u00a9 N3D LAND Films<\/p><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>D-Day: Normandy 1944 (D-Day : Normandie 1944)<\/strong><\/em><br>By Pascal Vuong, PG, 2014, 43 min, France, recommended for ages 11+<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>June 6, 1944: The largest Allied operation of World War II began in Normandy, France.
