Description

In this cabaret, people laugh to forget. David, however, sees what others refuse to see.<div> Munich, 1919. Germany emerges from the Great War exhausted, crushed by defeat and debt. In a makeshift cabaret, Master David Canetti tries to make an audience laugh as they seek oblivion. Alongside Kristin von Daltenbrunner, his new partner, he presents a nightly fortune-telling act that is gaining increasing popularity. The audience wants to believe. And they have to hope.</div><div><br></div><div> But something troubles David. Discreetly seated at the back of the room, a young man sometimes watches the show. His presence is enough to chill the seer, to block his visions, to silence his laughter. Who is this man? What is hidden behind David's laughter?</div><div> Victor Haïm weaves around this encounter a prophecy as beautiful as it is terrifying, that of an era that is changing, and of those who sense coming what no one wants to see yet.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
