Going Private (2006)

Immersed in the high-stakes world of finance, 'Going Private' paints a vibrant portrait of HP, an investment banker who has seemingly survived the tumultuous crash of the stock exchange. His life of affluence and materialism is thrown into sharp relief during a seemingly innocuous barbecue gathering with his banker cohorts and their spouses. As the evening unfolds, a shockwave hits the party - HP's Danish au-pair, a silent observer until now, threatens to expose her scandalous love affair with HP's wedded superior. Caught in this whirlwind, HP, a man trained to strategize and manipulate, endeavours to keep everyone appeased. Yet, the unassuming barbecue spirals into a frenzied night of subterfuge and blackmail. When dawn breaks, HP finds his life as he knows it, razed to the ground - his home, his marriage, his friendships, and his career - all lost in the aftermath. 'Going Private' offers an intimate exploration of the invasive impact of neo-liberal principles on personal spaces - the sacrosanct domains of family and friendships. It unveils the masked faces of men trained to gamble, spy, and speculate in the world of economics, and the women who, expected to acquiesce, ultimately choose defiance. As the first Swiss film to delve deeply into the lives of individuals in this socio-economic stratosphere, it exposes the human toll exacted by the rampant affluence and materialism in modern-day Switzerland. A gripping narrative of power, betrayal, and loss, 'Going Private' holds up a mirror to the human cost of economic prosperity.
