The roof of a high-rise is the investment-banker's Seppuku-sword. Numerous young bankers, drunk on success and bonuses, as well as unanchored by pressure and the loss of a moral compass, have chosen it in recent years as the grand stage for their final performance. In Dead Man Working it is a German investment banker who choses this particular way to say goodbye to life and exit this world as well as Marc Bauder's dark thriller. He and his team have just closed a deal with the emirate of Qatar to take over London's new financial quarter – the deal of his life. Literally. His assistant and his widow try to un cover the truth, but soon find themselves in the crosshairs of the bank's board of directors. After his brilliant documentary Masters of the Universe examined the madness of investment banking, Marc Bauder now attacks the same world with his first dramatic feature – opening doors to a culture devoid of proportionality. A dizzying film about the freefall from profit to loss. (Internationales Filmfest Oldenburg)
