Fabian follows Jakob Fabian, a jaded office worker in Berlin in 1931, as a world of polished façades, parties, and opportunism collides with creeping radicalism. He navigates love with Cornelia while befriending the sardonic doctor Labude, weighing the price of social climbing in a city teetering on the edge. As fascism rises, Fabian faces moral compromises, friendship, and personal disenchantment, in a stylish, darkly observant drama about a society slipping toward collapse.
