University student Brian arrives in Berlin in 1931 to complete his studies. Living in an inexpensive rooming house, where he befriends another of the tenants, Sally. She is a flamboyant, happy person who works as a singer at the decadent Kit Kat. Sally’s outward façade is matched by that of the Klub, overseen by the omnipresent Master of Ceremonies. Sally draws Brian into her world, among their other friends are his students, the poor Fritz Wendel, who wants to be a gigolo to live a comfortable life, and the straight-laced and beautiful Natalia Landauer, a Jewish heiress. Fritz initially sees Natalia as his money ticket, but eventually falls for her. Into, Sally and Brian’s life comes the wealthy Baron Maximilian von Heune, who has the same outlook on life as Sally. Max is willing to lavish his new friends with gifts and his favors. Around them all is the Nazi uprising, to which they seem to pay little attention or care. But they ultimately learn that life in all its good and particularly bad continues to happen to them and around them.
Where is it happening?
