Management asks him to run a psychological profile of one of the firm's top executives who has been acting irrationally. What should be straightforward propels Kessler into a situation where his mind, body and basic sensibilities are subverted by chaotic moral imperatives. Mathieu Amalric is in good form as Kessler and Michael Lonsdale is perfectly cast as the chief executive Mathias Just. SC Farb has recently undertaken a severe reduction in staff and when Kessler delves into Just's past he uncovers links with the Third Reich's extermination of Jews. His psychological arm-wrestle with the older man intensifies and the terminology of ''downsizing'' and ''rationalisation'' via ''labour units'', ''outsourcing'' and other demeaning euphemisms have disturbing similarities to the language of genocide. Guilt never sleeps.
