action

In an office complex that symbolizes society as a whole and in which a different social class works on each of its floors, a young man applies “at the top”. Its formally dressed competitors are arrogant and narrow-minded. The young man tries several times to assimilate as much as possible. However, he fails to do this because he shows a humane empathy towards people from other social classes, in contrast to his competitors. As a result, after all suit wearers have been turned away, he ultimately manages to stay "him" and get the job.

Reviews

The jury of the Federal Association of German Film Authors praised the staging and the successful camera work. The jury of the Créajeune Youth Film Festival emphasized the aesthetics of the narrative through the few dialogues and the recurring elements in the story.
