Christopher Isherwood and his German boyfriend Heinz's chance encounter in the 1930s blossomed into a romantic love amidst the ominous backdrop of Nazi Germany's rise to power.

He becomes embroiled in the lives of his eccentric housemates, including a flamboyant old queen and a tone-deaf cabaret singer. As he navigates his relationships with a rent boy and a street sweeper, Christopher's experiences inspire his writing. However, his love for the street sweeper, Heinz, is tested by the rising threat of Fascism and ultimately ends in heartbreak.
