In 1931, budding author Christopher Isherwood goes to Berlin at the invitation of his friend W. H. Auden for the gay sex that abounds in the city. He falls for street sweeper Heinz, paying medical bills for the boy's sickly mother, to the disapproval of her other son, Nazi Gerhardt.

VIBE

A tender, yet somber exploration of queer desire and self-discovery amidst rising political tensions. It feels like a hushed confession, a fragile bloom in a darkening world, steeped in the atmosphere of pre-war Berlin.
