Am achten Tag (1996)
Bankmanager Harry geht ehrgeizig aber abgespannt seinem Job nach, anderen in immer gleich gestalteten Seminaren das vermeintliche Geheimnis beruflichen Erfolges zu vermitteln. Darin ist er gut, aber die Arbeit hält ihn regelrecht gefangen. Seine Familie kommt ständig zu kurz und von einer aktiven, aufmerksamen Rolle als Ehemann und Vater hat er sich weit entfernt. Darum hat seine Frau Julie ihn verlassen und die beiden gemeinsamen Töchter mitgenommen. Das trifft ihn zwar hart, aber er findet keinen Weg aus der Spirale der Arbeitssucht auszubrechen. Sein Leben erscheint ihm festgefahren und einsam, er trägt sich mit Suizidgedanken.
