Synopsis

Taranto, 1997. Caterino, a simple workman at Ilva industrial complex, is secretly recruited as whistle-blower by the company’s top management in order to check on the employees and workers who are disliked by the new business administration. During his spying activities, incapable of feeling his role as unethical, Caterino asks to be relocated at Palazzina Laf, where some workers are punished by being devoid of any duties and responsibilities. Even if it looks live heaven, Caterino will find out for himself that it is a perverse strategy applied by the company’s management to psychologically bend troublesome workers, pushing them to resign or demote. In short time, the man will have to choose between the obedience to the factory and the relations of friendship that he has established with people he has to control. Based on a true story, it is the first official case of mobbing and bossing in Italy.
