The Good Boss

Julio Blanco (Javier Bardem) runs Básculas Blanco, a family firm in a provincial Spanish town that makes industrial scales, and he talks about his workers as if they were relatives. A committee is coming to decide whether the company deserves a local Business Excellence award, and every problem on the payroll has to be fixed before it arrives. Fernando León de Aranoa follows Blanco as he works through his staff, and his hand on a shoulder lands a little too long.
