309:"Top Dogs – top price class" – people representing the management. They used to be the top players in the game but now they are obsolete. Once they have lost their jobs, their lives fell apart. Some of them still cannot come to terms with reality. They cannot believe that they ended up on the street after losing in the ruthless rat race. They meet in a peculiar place, something between employment agency and a therapy group. They are work-a-holics on rehab desperately trying to find a new meaning to their existence. Top Dogs is a psychodrama which holds the characters hostage, strips them of the lies and illusions which they are feeding each other. It brings out their secrets and deeply concealed thoughts which the characters were frantically trying to bury in their memories. However, the therapy is perverse. On one hand it teaches them how to survive in the new circumstances but on the other it maintains their love for money, power and career.

Madness, which is not at all gloomy, scary and desolating, but instead more ordinary, more human, less bitter. It is a madness experienced sometimes by each and every one of us.
