Básculas Blanco, a Spanish company producing industrial scales in a provincial Spanish town, awaits the imminent visit from a committee, which holds its fate in their hands as to whether they merit a local Business Excellence award. Everything has to be perfect when the time comes. Working against the clock, the company's proprietor, Blanco (Javier Bardem) pulls out all the stops to address and resolve issues with his employees, crossing every imaginable line in the process.

Winner of 30 awards around the world, The Good Boss is a darkly funny social satire of the workplace and the third collaboration between award-winning director Fernando León de Aranoa and celebrated actor Javier Bardem.
