Watching a promo video for another company, he's convinced he could do a much better job than the boss, if only there was a vacancy. Still unemployed after two years, as money gets tighter and his patriarchal pride takes a battering, Bruno decides to act. In his determination to regain his rightful place in the paper manufacturing industry, he realises that should an appropriate job become available he'd have a far better chance if he could eliminate the other leading candidates. Literally.Directed by Costa Gavras (Amen), Jose Garcia displays flawless comic timing in his nuanced performance as Bruno, a man driven to desperate acts by heartless social circumstances.般奴是一個愛家的男人，他在一家造紙公司忠心地服務了十五年，卻因為公司轉營而成為一切講求經濟效益下的犧牲者。有日，當他看到另一家公司的宣傳短片後，自信地覺得只有有機會，自己比那公司的負責人更勝任。失業兩年仍找不到事情，經濟開始拮據，感到一家之主的尊嚴受損，般奴決定是時候採取行動。他決心要在造紙業取回自己應有的職位。他認為，若有適合的職位空缺出現時，只有他能除去其他有實力的應徵者，實實在在的除去，那麼他的機會會更大。在導演哥士達．加夫卡的指導下，祖斯．加西亞把般奴這個被無情的商業社會迫至挺而走險的人之心路歷程演繹得淋漓盡致。Source: The 34th French Cinepanorama, Hong Kong
