1930s Berlin is a realm of glamour and sleaze, excess and repression. Having moved to the city to work on his novel, Christopher finds himself immersed in a world of contradiction. He becomes enamoured with the local denizens and the colourful lives they lead, meeting an English upper-class waif, the delightfully decadent Sally Bowles; a couple - Peter and Otto - who are struggling with their sexual identities; and a distinguished and doomed Jewish family, the Landauers. With the Nazis rising to power, Christopher's Berlin is a sparkling city perched on the edge of an abyss.
