But being a comrade requires more sacrifice than she anticipated and she is forced to choose between her safety and her political convictions. The Champagne Socialist is a 45 minute, 8 episode bi-lingual drama set in 1928 London and Berlin. It establishes this period of history firmly in the female gaze, and explores themes of self-discovery, class struggle, femininity and emancipation from the past. This is Champagne, with it's frothy, decadent sparkle but it's also Socialist, so lessons will be learned and morals will be questioned. Ultimately, this is a story about unlikely friendships across a spectrum of backgrounds and beliefs and how 'unprecedented times' can either pull them apart or bring them together. In this proof of concept short for the TV series, we see Winifred try to convince the steely Vasilly Radenkovic to let her join the local KPD. See less
