Stille Reserven

The insurance salesman Vincent Baumann, a cold-blooded careerist and minion of a merciless system, becomes a victim of the very corporations he is representing. Degraded to a henchman he grimly struggles to get back on the job market. He fights to climb the social ladder. In the process he starts wondering if there are other values than income and success. An encounter with Lisa, a member of an activist group, increases the turmoil Vincent feels. Will the dominance of the ruling system be shattered? (Viennale)
