synopsis
Christopher Isherwood's bestselling memoir comes to the screen in this affecting BBC docudrama starring Matt Smith. Desperate to escape the suffocating restraints of British society, young idealist Christopher (Smith) flees to Berlin, where he's welcomed into the sexually ambiguous cabaret subculture with open arms. But just as the naïve newcomer begins to embrace his new, sexually liberated lifestyle, Nazi politics cast an oppressive cloud over life in Berlin.
