Gibsy - Rukeli Trollmanns Kampf ums Leben plot
In the summer of 1933, Sinto (Gypsy) Johann 'Gibsy' Trollmann surprisingly wins the German semi-heavyweight boxing championship. Because of his superior speed, he beats his opponents one by one. Thanks to this victory, he becomes not only a public hero, but also a sex symbol. But the intoxication of this victory is short-lived, as a week later he is stripped of his title for 'bad behaviour'. The real reason is very clear: As a Sinto, he is a member of a non-Aryan minority and therefore cannot be a title holder. Trollman responds to this injustice with an appropriate response. In his next fight, he enters the ring with pale powdered skin and blond hair dyed, as a caricature of a real Aryan.
