The 'divinely decadent' Berlin cabaret scene is in
full swing when a young and wide-eyed Christopher
Isherwood (Matt Smith) arrives in the city to stay
with his close friend and occasional lover, the poet
WH Auden. To Isherwood's reserved English sensibility,
the city's thriving gay subculture is thrilling and
intoxicating. But Christopher soon finds himself heartbroken
after the failure of a hopeless love affair, and so
sets out on a process of self-discovery as he forges
an identity and place for himself amidst the chaos
of 1930s Berlin.
