Synopsis:

David Böttcher (Christian Berkel, Black Book, Downfall, Inglorious Basterds) is a liquidator, employed to resolve failing companies' affairs after showing their staff the door. Long out of work for reasons that become clear later in the film, when he's offered the chance to wind up one firm in a gloomy office building downtown he jumps at the chance, knowing how much his family needs the money. But one employee, Frau Blochs, seems especially distraught at losing her job and her emotional reaction to the news sets a chain of increasingly disturbing events in motion.

The story of David, a lawyer who has taken a job after a long period of unemployment. Except he is having a crisis of conscience. He is supposed to liquidate a company and fire everyone. And he does - for the sake of his wife Irina and son Simon. His scruples appear justified: a young woman collapses after he lays her off. He drives her home, tries to comfort her but she becomes aggressive. That same night she calls and threatens him. From now on she appears every day in the empty office or terrorizes him on the telephone.
