Based on the true story of novelist Irmgard Keun, "The Novelist from Berlin" by V.S. Alexander recounts the life of a pioneering writer in post-World War I Berlin. In 1920s Berlin, writer Niki Rittenhaus struggles to be taken seriously in the male-dominated artistic scene, even with the power of her movie producer husband. When he agrees to begin making Nazi propaganda films, Niki turns her film dreams into novel ones, publishing her first book under a pseudonym. As the Nazis gain more power over Germany (and her family), Niki flees, joins the Dutch Resistance, and ultimately returns to Berlin in hopes of rescuing her kidnapped daughter and claiming her own story at last.
