Synopsis for Berlin 36:
Based on actual events, Berlin 36 tells a dramatic story of two athletes during that year's infamous Olympics. After the American's threaten a boycott if no Jewish competitors are on the German team, Gretel Bergmann, a Jewish champion high jumper, is invited to train. Contriving a scheme to spoil Gretel's victory, the Reich promotes an unknown athlete named Marie Ketteler. Neither Gretel nor her teammates have any idea that Marie is a man passing as a woman, nor did the Nazis predict that the pair would become friends.
