As the film progresses the injuries/deaths become more brutal, beginning with things like a man falling from the forklift after he was lifted without a safety cage to hold onto but a bare wooden platform, and closing with the most violent: ending in a stray chainsaw being driven around by a severed arm on the floor, reaching and ripping through a man who had already been cut in half waist-down due to Klaus' previous accident. While this causes no injury, it is a hint for what would be coming. Shortly after Klaus' first operation of the forklift, he nearly hits a co-worker leaving the warehouse by walking across the garage door where walking is forbidden, instead of the pedestrian exit door. The film highlights, in a gory manner, the dangers of unsafe operation of machinery, as well as inattention as a result of chitchatting and distraction by a female coworker passing by.

The film was written and directed by Stefan Prehn and Jörg Wagner and stars Konstantin Graudus as the title role of Klaus.
