Einstein: Chapter One

As anti-Semitism reaches a fever pitch in 1930s Germany, famed physicist Albert Einstein wrestles with the decision to seek refuge in America with his second wife, Elsa, or to stay in solidarity with fellow Jewish academics. The struggle evokes memories of his first days as a headstrong student at Zurich Polytechnic, during which he meets the first love of his life, Mileva Maric.
