ThrillerDramaMystery

Berlin, 1923. Following the suicide of his brother, American circus acrobat Abel Rosenberg attempts to survive while facing unemployment, depression, alcoholism and the social decay of Germany during the Weimar Republic.

A suffocating descent into despair. The film's oppressive atmosphere mirrors the protagonist's internal struggle amidst a crumbling society. It's a bleak, unsettling watch that lingers long after the credits roll.
