Berlin 1932. The lifes of a group of bohemian artists and intellectuals - who perfectly represent the most lively and progressivist part of the Weimar Republic - gather togheter in the house of Agnes, a middle-aged and poorly successful actress. We will watch them as they unsuccessfuly try to oppose to the raising of nazism. Their failure in fighting the Evil that grows around them will force them in the extreme choice: escape. Agnes alone will decide to stick in her place tryng in vain to preserve that bright room from the growing obscurity. This descent to hell is ocasionally interupted by the intermissions of Zillah, an american working class woman from the ’80, that constantly remind us as Evil is always on the loose.
