Peters Prinzip

The film satirizes the Peter Principle, a management theory suggesting that employees in a hierarchy tend to be promoted until they reach their level of incompetence. Peter Klavenberg, an ambitious but ultimately unqualified middle manager, desperately tries to climb the corporate ladder. His pursuit of promotion leads to a series of increasingly absurd situations and mishaps, highlighting the flaws in the system.
