George is heartbroken after the death of his lover, Jim. A professor of English in sunny, suburban California, George grieves in solitude, surrounded by easy-going, uncomprehending youth. Beneath his British restraint, waves of sorrow and anger surge. He doggedly persists with the routines of his past life, heading out to work, to the gym, on again to dinner. From his solitude springs defiance; he will triumph over loneliness and alienation, he will find love again, he will feel joy.

A lonely young Brit working on a novel is charmed by his landlady and her bohemian lodgers. He rooms with an English runaway and want-to-be star, the delightfully decadent Sally Bowles, and holidays on the Baltic coast with a repressed Englishman and his swaggering German lover.

Isherwood ci racconta una giornata nella vita di George, un professore inglese non più giovane che vive in California. Non è una giornata particolare per George: solo altre ventiquattr’ore senza Jim, il suo compagno morto in un incidente. Ventiquattr'ore fra il sospetto dei vicini, la consolante vicinanza di Charlotte, la rabbia contro i libri letti per una vita ma ormai inutili, e il desiderio di un corpo giovane appena intravisto ma che forse è già troppo tardi per toccare. Quanto basta per comporre un ritratto che non si può dimenticare.
