Not so long ago, enthusiasm reigned in one of the largest companies in the world, EADS. At the end of 2005, its subsidiary Airbus was beating Boeing in terms of the quantity of planes sold, consolidating its leading position in the field.
Four years later, almost the entire high command of EADS, responsible for this success were indicted for fraud. What happened?
Investigation into a fascinating story of success, of high-flying ambitions and low-lying greed… a story of technical achievement and managerial incompetence, of business mixed with politics.
Director Frédéric Compain tells and dissects the story with a sharp eye and a certain delectation for its intricacies. A “comédie des moeurs”, a comedy of manners at times, with a colourful cast of characters (including mistresses and "traitors") who come together for a high-powered game of chess, where billions of € are at stake…
Deeply informative. A revelation on the links between business, politics and the military complex - and very entertaining!!
