In early-'30s Berlin, disillusioned and dissolute WWI vet Jakob Fabian (Tom Schilling) worked a tedious advertising job by day and wandered the clubs at night. The ray of hope he receives through his encounter with the aspiring actress Cornelia Battenberg (Saskia Rosendahl) stands to be dashed between the ascension of her career and the decline of his circumstances. Dominik Graf's epic take on the Erich Kästner novel co-stars Albrecht Schuch, Aljoscha Stadelmann. 176 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: German; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; theatrical trailer. In German with English subtitles.
