    The VW diesel scandal
    The VW diesel scandal also hit the Swiss automotive supplier group Walser hard. Since the board of directors has the feeling that the current management level is not in a position to master this crisis, the German Hans-Werner Brockmann (Ulrich Tukur) is brought to Walser as the new CEO. Brockmann is supposed to bring the company into shape by restructuring it. The CFO Alexander Maier (Stefan Kurt) is spared from the wave of layoffs. From now on he supports Brockmann wherever he can. But then the initial collegiality turns into a fight. Brockmann begins to ignore Maier and the development team's suggestions. Instead, he plans to put Walser on the stock exchange and wants to realize big plans with the help of investors. Also because Maier's private life is anything but desired, the CFO feels increasingly pushed into a corner and soon seems to be capable of anything.

    The well-played and well-staged new film by Sabine Boss does a lot of things right, but unfortunately the spark still doesn't want to jump over. The characters leave you a little too cold and the story is pretty predictable. In the end, the film leaves you pensive instead of being carried away during the 90 minutes of playing time.
