What Is Fabian About?
The premise of Fabian without spoilers, adapted from Going to the Dogs by Erich Kästner and Cyrus Brooks.
Jacob Fabian is a charming yet penniless Berlin advertising copywriter who attracts women. As the 1930s unfold, his liberal outlook places him at odds with the tightening climate, and he watches the disintegration of pre‑war German society, its values and freedoms eroding around him.
