Fabian Going to the Dogs 2021 Berlin, 1931 A milieu between sublets and the underworld, where brothels are artists studios, Nazis are yelling abuse in the streets and Babelsberg is dreaming of producing psychological cinema Life is surging, society is fermenting and corroding As long as he still has a job, Jakob Fabian, who has a doctorate in German studies, writes advertising copy during the day and frequents the citys more outlandish establishments with Stephan Labude at night While his friend who later confesses to having failed in the subjects of life and profession is a go getter when it comes to communism and sex, Fabian remains sober and distant Without really believing in it, he is waiting for the victory of decency His love for Cornelia is the only thing that makes him question his ironic fatalism She becomes a ray of hope in his crumbling existence
