In the bustling and decadent city of Berlin in the early 1920s, a young and ambitious artist finds himself trapped in a spiral of self-destruction after discovering the world of drug trafficking. The story follows Paul, a talented painter who, in search of inspiration, becomes a regular in the city's challenging and exhilarating nightlife. The artistic bohemia of the era draws him in, but it also opens the doors to a dark universe where excess and hedonism reign.
Everything changes when he meets an enigmatic woman who turns out to be a cocaine addict. His fascination with her leads him further into a whirlwind of decadence. The encounters filled with music, dance, and debauchery soon transform into a deadly trap that threatens to consume him entirely. As Paul delves deeper into this dangerous world, he begins to lose his artistic purity and his connection to reality.
As the shadows of addiction loom over him, the line between creativity and self-destruction blurs. The struggle to reclaim his life becomes increasingly urgent, and the decisions he makes have devastating consequences. In a society that celebrates freedom and innovation, Paul faces an internal battle that could lead him to madness or redemption, in an era where art and vice are two sides of the same coin.
