Das Brot des Bäckers

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.
