O DIREITO DO MAIS FORTE É A LIBERDADE

Gay working-class circus performer Franz Biberkopf, nicknamed Fox, wins half a million in the lottery. This new wealth attracts attention from Munich’s exclusive gay scene—and soon, the suggestible Fox is in a relationship with bourgeois Eugen and surrounded by a circle of materialistic friends.
