Der Chef ist tot(2016)

Der Chef ist tot is a German crime drama centered on a murder at a trucking company. When the branch manager is discovered dead on the morning he planned to fire an employee, suspicion falls on the entire staff. Inspector Maxi Schweiger takes charge of the investigation, working to untangle the events of the previous evening and identify the killer. With multiple employees harboring potential motives—resentment over the impending layoff, workplace tensions, or hidden grievances—the case becomes increasingly complex. As Schweiger digs deeper, secrets emerge that suggest the victim's death may have been far from a simple act of workplace rage. The film explores themes of corporate pressure, desperation, and the dark undercurrents that can simmer beneath the surface of ordinary workplaces.
