In January 1946, aged 68, renowned artist Dame Laura Knight takes a life-changing commission as war artist to the Nuremberg Trials.

Dame Laura takes Peter on a visit to her old circus friends, the Carollis, who are also living, by coincidence, in Nuremberg.

Meanwhile there is a hitch with the press box at court and Laura's eminence as a painter cuts no ice with the American colonel.
