ABOUT THE FILM

Berlin, 1931: Pessimistic Jakob Fabian (Tom Schilling) ekes out a meager living as a copywriter by day. At night, he drifts through the underbelly of Berlin with his wealthy friend Labude (Albrecht Schuch). After meeting the aspiring actress Cornelia (Saskia Rosendahl), Fabian quickly falls in love. But, unfortunately, his happiness is short-lived. Losing his job just as Cornelia’s career takes off with the help of her all-too attentive employer, Fabian plunges back into depression. But in the twilight of the Weimar era, it’s not just Fabian’s world that is falling apart… Award-winning director Dominik Graf captivated audiences at the Berlin Film Festival with this dazzling adaptation of Erich Kästner’s classic of Weimar literature.
