Description
Berlin, 1926. After their parents' death, sisters Leni and Annette are left with only each other. Desperate for a better life, Leni finds work at the notorious Babylon Circus, where reality and fantasy blur in the glimmering mirrors that cover its walls. It's here she meets Paul, the cabaret's resident pianist, and begins a tentative love affair that spans forty years. As they navigate their complicated lives, Leni and Annette must confront the divisions of their city, which will define an entire century. Can their love survive within the feverish walls of the Babylon Circus? The bond between the two sisters is tugged in opposite directions, threatening to tear them apart. In this dark and dazzling city, where dreams are made and lost, two sisters dare to dream of a better life. But where will they find their true home?
