The Good Boss
Spanish with English subtitles
Cast: Javier Bardem
Rated M - Strong language and nudity.
Benevolent patriarch, Julio Blanco [Javier Bardem] is CEO of a family company that manufactures precision industrial scales and his mission in life is to win a prestigious business award.
With the national committee about to arrive for an inspection, Julio does not care what he must do to win. So, in front of the media, he is all smiles when giving a pep talk to his employees about the importance of community. But behind the scenes, Julio is ruthless with staff and fixates on shutting down a local protest taking place across the road from his factory.
