The Empress of Mexico

A portrait of one of the last suvivors of the German-Jewish exile in Mexico: Marianne Frenk-Westheim. Translator, writer and great connoisseur of the arts, she lived in three centuries and in two cultures very far from one another: her first 32 years in Germany and more than 70 years in her second home, Mexico. Her most important work of art is without any doubt her own life: her movement between worlds, languages, cultures, and generations.
