To historians, physicist Lise Meitner deserves to be placed on a par with Einstein, Heisenberg and Otto Hahn. In the 1930s on the verge of World War II, she led a small group of scientists who discovered that splitting the atomic nucleus of uranium releases enormous energy. This extraordinary film tells the story of a woman who was far ahead of her time as a scientist and a pioneer of feminism.

Starring Katherina Lange, Estella Hebert, Malte Tönissen, Marek Gierszał, Volker Kühn, Dietrich Hahn, Lore Sexl, Ruth Sime.
