Spoilers ahead
In the bustling city of Madrid, seven individuals converge for a job interview amid the backdrop of a chaotic public protest against the IMF-World Bank Summit, which seeks to enforce a globalization agenda concerning workers’ unions. As the candidates settle into a corporate meeting room high above the turmoil, tensions rise when one candidate boldly refuses to continue filling out the seemingly endless stream of identical paperwork. This act of defiance ignites skepticism among the group regarding the legitimacy of the so-called Grönholm Method, a controversial process purportedly designed to identify the most suitable candidate for the job.
