Andres Veiel

The executive floor of a big German bank. Some executives are already retired, others still hold responsibilities. The crisis has arrived here, too; everyone has his own story, his own interpretation of events. There is the one who has lost his job because of the crisis, the other who made a fortune thanks to it. The one who would know what has to be done now, but nobody asks him anymore. He distrusts those who are responsible, because they believe they know better. The others who are responsible know as well what needs to be done, but do they act accordingly? Which interests do they actually follow? Andres Veiel interviewed leading bankers and in his research he traced the connections between personal motives and social structures in the world of finance. He looks behind the facades of the glass palaces and delivers a fascinating insight into the world of bankers.
