Öllers and Niederländer have everything under control. For six years the successful business consultants tour through the grungiest countries of the world in order to feed their customers’ hunger for profits. Now their goal seems close: to climb up the firm’s ranks and become partners! When they learn that their colleague Hellinger has made the desired career advancement, their nerves are set on edge. Because the policy is “up or out.” That Hellinger, for unexplained reasons, soon falls out of the window doesn’t help them along either. The young men find out that the ambitious Bianca will succeed him. Öllers and Niederländer are stressed, sarcasm takes hold, neuroses run wild. The battle for survival in the company takes its toll – the age of cannibals begins.


Director: Johannes Naber, Germany, 2014
