In Berlin, 1930, the name Käsebier is on everyone's lips. A
literal combination of the German words for "cheese" and "beer,"
it's an unglamorous name for an unglamorous man - a small-time
crooner who performs nightly on a shabby stage for labourers,
secretaries, and shopkeepers. Until the press shows up. In the
blink of an eye, this everyman is made a star: one who can sing
songs for a troubled time. Margot Weissmann, the arts patron, hosts
champagne breakfasts for Käsebier; Muschler the banker builds a
theatre in his honour; Willi Frächter, a parvenu writer, makes a
killing from Käsebier-themed business ventures and books. All the
while, the journalists who catapulted Käsebier to fame watch the
monstrous media machine churn in amazement - and are aghast at the
demons they have unleashed.
