A Life in Color

After World War II, Eleanor left Germany and built a life for herself in the United States as an interior designer. She saved derelict warehouses and transformed them into sought-after event venues. Now, at 92, the fear of the end torments her. The thought of a will makes her shudder. In the arms of a young man, she finds brief solace. She dances at parties and undergoes cosmetic surgery. Yet, these actions do nothing to heal the emotional wounds her father left behind. Both the past and the future trouble Eleanor. But slowing down is not an option. 'I don’t think I believe in death', she says.
