About 90 years ago, while walking through the streets of Vienna, Austria, Axel Wenner-Gren, spotted a vacuum cleaner in a shop window. "There should be one of these in every home," he said to himself. The rest, as they say, is history. This documentary film follows the company from a businessman's revolutionary idea to market vacuum cleaners door-to-door to today's global appliance business.
