Description:
Five daughters recount the life and death of their father, a man embodying early 20th-century Protestant Switzerland's strong work ethic. He begins as a farmer, transitions to factory work, and eventually builds a family business where his daughters become employees. The business expands into a large factory, later passed to his only son. Through these five stories, the film portrays the family and professional life of the first half of the 20th century, culminating in the peaceful death of a man who felt he fulfilled his obligations. The film explores ideas by Max Weber, crucial for understanding Western civilization's development following the Reformation.
