In the seedy and seditious demimonde of Weimar Berlin, five lost souls find each other (and sold-out audiences) when they create a scandalous club where adults play like children…and customers pay to watch!
Kinderspiel tells the story of how a burnt-out expressionist dancer, a wealthy jaded Jew, a trendsetting lesbian journalist, a conservative widow, and a utopian communist joined together to create this bizarre hotspot and how this curious fetish turned into a revolutionary movement.
