The rise and fall of the entrepreneurial Schicht family, founders of the Soap with the Stag brand
The film tells the story of the legendary soap with the stag brand and its founders, the entrepreneurial Schicht family, who over the course of three generations built a major soap and food production empire in Ústí nad Labem, contributing significantly to the development of the city and the entire region. It is also the story of their descendants, who search for their roots and a relationship to a city where none of them currently live, yet together they have purchased the neo-Baroque villa of their ancestors. The film reflects Czech-German history in the Ústí nad Labem region, recalling industrial growth and the pre-war coexistence of Czechs and Germans.
