Based on a famous play, Piñeyro explores the dark inner workings of the corporate world. While the streets of Madrid are filled with anti-globalization demonstrators, candidates are assembled to be put through the final selection process for a single high-level position at a multinational corporation. From the outset, there is a palpable tenseness and competitive atmosphere among the group. Feelings of distrust increase when they realize they are aspiring for the same position, and that the Grönholm Method is being used to assess their respective merits. They are pitted against one another in a contest that elicits fear, suspicion, paranoia, and betrayal. The humiliation these people are willing to endure or inflict on others for the sake of the job is chilling to witness. Piñeyro’s timely film shows how this type of “natural” selection truly dehumanizes us in the ceaseless race to get ahead.
