England Made Me

In the looming shadows of 1930s Germany, a restless Europe teeters between glittering modernity and the gathering storm of a new regime. Berlin’s cafés hum with jazz, its streets are lined with elegant villas, and an undercurrent of political tension whispers through every conversation. The city’s decadence feels both intoxicating and foreboding, a world where the promise of prosperity collides with the ominous rise of authoritarian power.

Kate returns to the continent after years abroad, drawn back into a life intertwined with wealth and influence. She lives with her brother, Tony, a carefree Englishman whose restless wanderings have left him without purpose, and the affluent industrialist Erich Krogh, whose ambitious enterprises sit at the heart of the era’s economic pulse. Within this close‑knit trio, affection and ambition swirl together, creating a delicate balance that feels as fragile as the glassware clinking at their gatherings.

Into this triangle steps Minty, an English journalist whose curiosity about the inner workings of the elite offers both intrigue and opportunity. His presence magnifies the already tangled web of desire, loyalty, and ambition, as each character navigates personal yearning against the backdrop of a society inching toward darkness. The interactions are charged with a blend of witty banter, restless flirtations, and a simmering sense that the stakes are far higher than simple romance.

The film unfurls with a tone that is simultaneously lush and uneasy, capturing the allure of a glamorous yet precarious world on the brink of transformation. As the characters pursue their passions and hidden motives, the encroaching political climate casts a long, unsettling shadow, promising that the games they play may have consequences far beyond the confines of their private lives.
