Schwarzfahrer

Deutschland 1992 Kurz-Spielfilm

Summary

Black Rider

An old tram, a pensioner, housewives, a couple of youths, a few giggling girls and various other passengers. And a little old lady who was not at all nice as she annoyed the young colored man sitting beside her with a variety of provocative references.

The other passengers remain silent and look in the other direction,
vacantly staring into space or smiling their consent, purely by chance
as it were. The black man also remains silent until an inspector
appears ... The colored man sees his chance, his opportunity for
revenge: in a flash he reaches out, tears the old lady′s ticket out of
her hands and gobbles it up. He himself presents a season ticket
showing that he is an honest passenger, but the old lady is caught
without a ticket and the inspector can only shake his head in wonder at
the woman′s downright silly answer when asked to show her ticket: "This
man here just gobbled it up!"
