A contemporary biography of a notorious actress, dancer, playwright who scandalized sexobsessed Weimar Berlin during the 1920's.
In an era where everything was permitted Anita Berber celebrations, of "Depravity, Horror and Ecstasy" where censored and condemned. She often haunted Weimars Berlin Hotel lobbys, nightclubs and casinos radiantly naked except for an elegant sable wrap, a pet monkey hanging from her neck and a silver brooch packed with cocaine. Multi-talented Anita saw no boundaries between her personal life and her taboo-shattering performances. As such she was Europe's first post-modern woman.
