Franz is suing the company that has made him redundant after 40 years, holding out in an empty office for 9 months with nothing to do. Stephan sits on a chair for eight days and nights as part of a giant billboard – selling yourself is sometimes the quickest way to pay your debts.
Saskia, the high school graduate, is learning how to put together the perfect application and Gunnar is being taught that perceiving your own body as a trademark is the key to success.
The emotional push and pull of work, its demands and absurdities, and the struggle for fulfillment.
