The movie is set in Germany, just before the 1936 Olympic games.
The main story revolvers around the best German high jumper of that time, Gretel Bergmann (
Karoline Herfurth), whose Jewish roots make her an unlikely pick for the German Olympic team. If that was not enough, her ma(i)n rival,
Marie Kettele, had some unfair
appendage advantage.
So, it would seem that stories you hear about these days, stories
about transgender athletes crushing their competition in women events,
are not a recent phenomenon.
Julie Engelbrecht has a small supporting part in the movie. For her other nude scenes you can check out
