"From Hands to Hammer" (The Mister Donatella Story) is a cinematic documentary told with the intensity and scale of a feature film - a powerful chronicle of ambition, adversity, and relentless determination. At its core stands Mister Donatella, a solitary visionary from one of the most remote corners of Germany, who set out to build one of Europe’s most remarkable luxury brands: Donatella Whisky.

But this film is not just about the meteoric rise of a company. It is, above all, the deeply personal story behind the brand - a story marked by sacrifice, isolation, inner conflict, and unwavering belief. With no capital, no investors, no connections, and no family support, the protagonist battles against a world determined to hold him back. Laughed at, blocked, and underestimated, he continues - day by day, year by year.

Told through raw, intimate, and at times unflinching imagery, "From Hands to Hammer" reveals what it truly takes to build something lasting when every odd is stacked against you. Between sleepless nights, financial pressure, and social rejection, something greater is born - not just a business, but a legacy. A symbol of what is possible when you believe in yourself - radically, consistently, and with your heart in your hands.

From Hands to Hammer is not a typical entrepreneurship story. It is a manifesto against stagnation, a cry against mediocrity - and a deeply moving portrait of a man who never gave up.
