Dramatic life of Gustav "Bubi" Scholz, who rose from post-war obscurity and a background in black market dealings to become a celebrated European boxing champion in the late 1940s. Charismatic and widely admired, he quickly became a national icon. But as the spotlight fades and his victories grow distant, Scholz’s personal life begins to unravel, leading him into a downward spiral of addiction and emotional turmoil.
