Berlin '36

This film is based on a true story.

Germany, 1936.

Berlin prepares for the Olympics.

U.S. threatens boycott if Germany bans Jewish athletes.

Gretel Bergmann is one of the best jumpers

and she's Jewish.

Authorities want to prevent her victory

and look for someone better.

And "Marie" Ketteler is part of their plan.

Ministry of Sports.

Berlin is ready.

Miss, call Von Halt immediately, it's important.

Good morning.

Ministry of Sports.

Herr Tschammer wants to talk with Von Halt.

Marie!

Marie!

Marie?

Why do not you answer?

What are you now, Marie?

Go for the clothes!

Hurry, Emma, do not be lazy!

Have you seen this?

This.

A giant protest in New York.

Foreign Minister has summoned our ambassador.

They threaten to boycott if the Jews are not included.

- How will the issue of high jump? - That is decided.

Miss Bergmann's way to Germany.

Is she really so good?

- Won the British Championships. - And our girls?

Lilly Vogt and...

Thea Walden?

They could not overcome her.

Has to be someone that is better that damn Jew!

Dad!

How did you get here?

- Been to the stadium? - Yes, of course.

Congratulations, honey.

Anything to drink?

No, thanks.

- How's Mom? - Good.

Right.

And Walter?

He, too.

Look.

Rudolph took a picture of us.

With the timer.

It's for you.

Thanks.

What happened to your hand?

I pinched.

Can we get a moment?

What is it?

Some people want you return to Germany.

You will need to train for the Olympics.

Do what?

U.S. threat to boycott the games.

- I will not return. - Due Hitler's racial policy.

I don't return there!

Dad.

- I have not even practice. - Right.

But now you're the British champion. Everything is different.

- This was your idea! - I know.

You told me in London there was nothing to worry about.

Now we're afraid if you do not return.

They're capable of anything.

Even to murder.

My dear.

We"ll talk about this tomorrow. Goodnight.

Welcome, Mr. Brundage.

- Thanks. - Ms. Vogel.

- Meet Ritter von Halt. - Karl.

Thank you for the warm welcome.

Mr. Brundage ask, your questions.

No!

He could not because he could not practice. - Sure.

As you know,

we invite Jews to be tested.

A farce!

Each one them has a chance to qualify.

Of course.

- Hi, Mom. - Honey. - Do you know me?

I'm your brother, the genius.

Thanks, genius.

At least change that face.

¿And Walter?

You know him, right?

He's in the hospital, looks really bad.

Hello, Walter.

- Have not you grown yet? - Want to see this?

I have all.

Your daughter is now famous.

17 years and still not get your period?

No.

How long have you saw a doctor?

- I don't know. - Approx.

I never got sick.

Take off your clothes and sit there.

There anything good about this, Gretel.

What could I do?

I want to hear it.

- Should we have been forced? - I came, after all.

That's right.

Why not bite a food?

Without food I am weak

and I can not jump. Nazis reject me.

What logic so fascinating!

You can force myself to eat, but not to win a medal for your country.

This is also your country, do not forget.

No more.

Your father fought in the war for this country.

He was about to die.

Emma, where are you?

Have to feed the chickens.

Where's she?

Who?

What are you doing? What else should I say?

What have I said?

Is this book suitable for girls?

Is it appropriate? I've told you a thousand times!

This is a mad house!

Gretel?

We visit.

Mr. Löwenstein, of the Jewish Federation of Sports.

I will not take a long time. I can?

I imagine how this affects you.

First take you out of the country and then claim that back.

But they can not force me to jump.

- She wants to humiliate the Nazis. - Not letting them use me.

This is not.

I think Gretel is right.

She can give up without a fight.

But you should think. Imagine for a moment that can

win a medal.

Whole absurd sense of the superiority of the Aryan race

lose its meaning.

Really want to embarrass the Nazis,

must overcome.

It's what I say.

You are a hope for many, Gretel.

Could you reconsider your decision?

Participate in the exercises.

A cognac?

2 cognac.

Well?

Maybe... have one gold medal candidate.

Why "maybe"?

The issue is a delicate thing.

Here medical outcomes.

Does anyone else know about this?

What's wrong?

If Löwenstein is right, they can't prevent me competing in Berlin.

I think they have no choice.

What if something happens?

What could happen?

Don't forget that Americans are on our side.

I wonder if my daughter will smile me again.

Not give up.

Marie!

Marie, come here!

Gretel Bergmann.

Waldmann, Hans.

Mr. Coach.

Who else?

Morning.

Morning.

Come, I'll show you your room.

You do not look like a coach.

I don't look it, but in my time holds the best

German records.

And was that...?

Your tongue is sharp, at least.

Ahead.

This is your room.

Who sleeps in the other bed?

Nobody.

You can invite your boyfriend.

It's allowed?

7:00 dinner is served.

Marie Ketteler?

Come.

- Do you know who I am? - Yes.

Sit.

Seems things have gone wrong with you.

Would normally have to send you to a mental hospital.

I would not like to.

If you want I can offer my help.

Do you want to be a captain?

Yes

I can arrange for you to receive a decent education.

But would... to do something in return.

What?

A service to your country.

Not will be easy, but...

you can do it.

So, have you met the other?

Gretel, these are Lilly and Thea.

Take seat.

- Unfortunately the boys leave tomorrow. - What a pity!
