Werner Kunig

The film follows the life story of Johann Augustus Suter, the owner of Sutter's Mill, famous as the birthplace of the great California Gold Rush of 1848.

Josef Brandlmeier is a true Munich original. He is a beer delivery man, a stately figure, not so young anymore and often a little grumpy. He is not married, but he harbors a secret love for the widow Therese Enzinger, who reciprocates his feelings.
