''While the world marched to war, they turned the night into a revolution.''

Berlin, 1931. As the Weimar Republic fades and extremism rises, the legendary El Dorado cabaret remains a sanctuary of freedom, art, and rebellion. Greta Malbirre, a drag queen, performer, and club owner, fights to preserve her art alongside Marlene and dancers Charlotte, Kiki, and Lolete. When journalist Alfred Fritz enters their world, he discovers passion, identity, and resistance. But as Röhm and the rising Nazi movement threaten their existence, the performers must fight for freedom in a world on the brink of collapse.

RUNNING TIME: 90 minutes
