synopsis
This German documentary presents a coolly poetic probe into the world of human resources, turning the attempt to create an efficient office environment into a chillingly captivating and dystopian vision of a world where the phrase “everything for the company” has become an absolute commandment. Starkly beautiful shots of a modern office building belonging to food conglomerate Unilever and the just as beautifully cruel managerial jargon of the company’s management show the workings of a precise, inhuman mechanism called the work process.
