Christopher and His Kind

The divinely decadent Berlin cabaret scene is in full swing when a young and wide-eyed Isherwood arrives in the city to stay with his friend and occasional lover, WH Auden. To Isherwood's reserved English sensibility, the city's thriving gay subculture is thrilling and intoxicating. But Isherwood 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 (BBC)
