Direktøren for det hele

Dec 8 2006 Not Rated 1h 39m
Comedy

An IT company hires an actor to serve as the company's president in order to help the business get sold to a cranky Icelander.

Plot

The owner of an IT firm wants to sell up. The trouble is that when he started his firm he invented a nonexistent company president to hide behind when unpopular steps needed taking. When potential purchasers insist on negotiating with the "Boss" face to face the owner has to take on a failed actor to play the part. The actor suddenly discovers he is a pawn in a game that goes on to sorely test his (lack of) moral fibre.
