[edit] Synopsis

The entire film happens within a corporate building, mostly in a closed conference room. The story tells of seven people that have been selected among several applicants for one final round to determine who will get an enviable, executive position for a mysterious corporation. The seven applicants are submitted to a series of psychological tests - known as the "Grönholm Method" - that starts eliminating the applicants one by one. It is warned at the beginning that one of the seven people is an employee of the corporation posing as an applicant to evaluate the others. As the applicants are discarded, the race for the position becomes more tense and sinister. In the end the "mole" will be revealed and only one of them will get the desired position.
