Synopsis

Our take

A panoramic plunge into the dying days of the Weimar era, this epic romantic melodrama is the latest from German cinema’s best-kept secret, Dominik Graf. Vividly conjuring a doomed age of bohemian insouciance, Fabian examines the futility of resistance against the all-consuming vortex of history.
