The Welfare Worker
Drama/Comedy, Germany/Luxembourg 2009
Social worker Hans-Peter Stalder, compulsively anxious to please, is short of money and resorts to a white lie to get some quick cash. At first his success appears to justify his actions, but actually it marks the beginning of the end. Based on the memoirs of the notorious Swiss embezzler Hans-Peter Streit, the film is an entertaining comedy about human blindness in the face of big money.
