Extrakt / Extract (2009)(CZ)

Joel is the CEO/founder/owner of Reynolds Extracts, which produces flavor extracts for cooking and baking. In being passionate about the product and the company doing well financially, Joel should be at the top of the world, but he's not, at least not mentally, especially as he has difficulty truly expressing how he is feeling. There is animosity among the disparate group of employees on the factory floor, most who are not the brightest lights in the world, which, among other factors, makes him hope that he can sell the company and retire despite not truly wanting it to happen. In returning home every day, he has to run the gauntlet that is his overbearing and annoying neighbor Nathan who is always bothering him about one thing or another in believing they are best friends. But probably worst in his mind is that his wife Suzie, while each still seemingly loves the other, has shut down sexually, it being months between their sexual activities. It does not help matters that Joel often turns to his bartender friend Dean for advice, Dean whose suggestions always include the consumption of some illicit drug in addition to the actual advice to deal with whatever the issue itself. It is in one of those drug induced stupors on both their parts that Dean suggests and Joel follows through with hiring a gigolo to seduce Suzie, Dean knowing the perfect person in bar patron Brad, so that Joel can act, without guilt, on what is not so much a fantasy of sleeping with seductive Cindy, a temporary employee at the factory who has been openly flirting with him ever since her arrival. What Joel is unaware of is that Cindy is a con artist whose arrival at the factory and her friendliness to him is all in her plan to take the company for all its worth in dealing with an issue with arguably Joel's most loyal factory employee, Step, that action which would ruin the company and bankrupt Joel.
