His situation becomes more and more difficult. Richy, who befriends the gypsy Mohrle and learns to play the guitar from him, has to experience how his father destroys the bond with the "gypsy pack".
(Hörzu 39/1979, S. 76)
3. Episode 3With the help of Ellis Mitter, Schocker finally gets a probationary apprenticeship at an auto repair shop. He is hard-working and well on his way to becoming a "decent person". Richy, on the other hand, is going downhill. He runs away from home because his father has taken up with a new, rather slutty wife, wanders aimlessly through the city, sleeps in laundromats, begs. Schocker also experiences a disappointment: he is refused an apprenticeship after the probationary period has expired. At home he covers up his "failure". Soon after, Richy and Schocker are caught after a failed theft in a jewelry store. Both end up in jail.
