DUTTI DER RIESE is the first film which focus in detail on the personality of the Migros founder Gottlieb Duttweiler, the man who divided 20th century’s Swiss society: a convinced democrat - but with the temperament of a dictator - a visionary and at the same time a realistic and calculating person. A war profiteer in his youth, thereafter a humanist, a powerful popular orator and a social politician. Swiss patriot and convinced European, Robin Hood, attentive husband, fighter, grouser and player, he became - toward the end of his life - a dubitative spirit. The figure of Gottlieb Duttweiler is today much more topical than he could never have imagined in his crazier dreams.
