Christopher Isherwood, long before he became the world-famous writer (his work inspiring the film, Cabaret, recently his novel was adapted into A Single Man), he left his English countryside residence and his overbearing mother for the Berlin of the 1930s. Even though red flags with swastikas are already being put up, the nightlife is ruled by parties, cabaret, and seductive liberalism. The young Christopher meets his muse, finds inspiration and among the pretty boys,-for whom he traveled to Berlin in the first place-finds a delicate true love. Yet the darkness of Nazism starts to overshadow their sunny days. Starring Matt Smith (Doctor Who). (Mezipatra Queer Film Festival)
