What happens

The Boss of It All (Danish: Direktøren for det hele) is a 2006 comedy film written and directed by Lars von Trier. According to the marketing material, the film was made with a technique invented by Trier called automavision, which automatically determines framing by randomly tilting, panning or zooming the camera without being actively operated by the cinematographer.
