HITHER AND THITHER was filmed in Wolfsperger's hometown of Constance with the participation of many local amateur actors. Frieder Witz was embodied by the town's true master baker, Richard Gandor. Chubby baker Frieder Witz is having a bad day. Supermarket bakeries are taking away his customers, he hasn't yet paid off the loan for his bread mixer, he has no money for his upcoming vacation and working all the time is no longer fun. So doughboy fakes a fall down the stairs and plays dead. Before his body is even cold, greedy relatives and friends are circling the grieving widow....
