Library | 93' minutes | 2009 | HD | Germany

Synopsis

How far would you go to get ahead?

Each summer, headhunters swarm the campuses of colleges and universities worldwide, looking for fresh new recruits in the cutting edge business world of the 21st century.

A motley group of business students in Berlin sign up for Takahashi Corp.'s assessment weekend, hoping to land one of the coveted spots with the consulting company. Under the watchful eye of a company psychologist, the team-working and improvisational skills of the aspirants will be put to the test in a survival-type situation.
After a long drive to Eastern Poland and an exhausting march through the woods, the group finally arrives at their base camp. But there's no hot meal waiting - the camp has been completely torn apart. Trapped in the woods with no food, no shelter and no way to communicate with the outside world, the real characters of the students come to light, as one by one, they start to lose their heads…
