The Boss of It All

The owner of an Information Technology firm wants to sell his business for profit. The trouble is that when he started his firm he invented a nonexistent company president to hide behind when unpopular steps needed to be taken. When potential purchasers insist on negotiating with the "Boss" face to face, the owner has to hire a failed actor to play the part. When the actor discovers he is being used to inflict suffering on the staff, he musters what little moral fiber he has, if only to play the ultimate part; hero. Directed by Lars Von Trier (Dancer in the Dark, The Idiots, Breaking the Waves).
