Synopsis
Berlin Manners follows the stories of four women with double identity who moved to Berlin to contribute in its extravagant melting pot. Four escapists that try to make their way in the world as traveling performers. Their work is dazzlingly sexy, carnal and romantic with a generous lashing of subversive, biting political satire. Burlesque is a form of entertainment that got popular in the United States in the first half of the twentieth century and later died with the advent of television and mass communication. Disheartened with the failure of the American dream, It 's not difficult to understand why our four heroines, driven by their audacious spirit and urge for freedom chose Berlin as the city to start a new stage extravaganza. With its tolerant atmosphere and endless nights, this city has evolved into a focal point for individuals attracted by liberal and artistic lifestyle, modern zeitgeist and the low cost of living. There seems to be a second chance for the hedonistic and cosmopolitan mood of the Weimar Republic, when anything went and the Cabaret myth was born.
