Storyline
Werner Wild becomes an apprentice to Baum, a small-town baker who maintains old fashioned production methods to preserve quality. But the workings of competitive society and the pressures on the individual, i.e. the baker's syndicate versus Baum's traditionalist methods, proves too much for the latter who has to conform.

A Must for anybody who prefers good bread to cheap bread
The movie describes the troubles in a small bakery in Bavaria that gets in trouble when a neighboring supermarket tries to force the bakery out of the market. The bakery bakes good bread without any chemistry. The customers see it somewhat differently: the breakfast rolls are much cheaper in the supermarket, so why buy them in the bakery?
The whole story is told from the viewpoint of a new apprentice. What can an apprentice do in this situation? What can he do to get a foothold in the trade?
Several actors like Günter Lamprecht or Bernd Tauber later played important parts in "Das Boot".
The movie was filmed in a bakery at Hersbruck. Meanwhile the bakery has been closed, with no successor in sight.
