At the age of 27, in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam, Etty Hillesum embarks on a spiritual and emotional journey, all chronicled in her diaries. In them, she unfolds her turbulent love affair with the psycho-chirologist Julius Spier, a relationship that becomes the catalyst for a radical inner transformation, accelerated by the growing threat she faces as a Jewish woman. Her unusual path ultimately leads her to an enormous act of solidarity.
