An enticing job advert is placed in the morning paper, drawing a throng of women to the company’s reception room. Personnel Manager Frederiksen has been given the impossible task of finding the perfect applicant for a job that every woman in the country is seemingly after. The beleaguered interviewer soon finds himself barricaded in his office, caught between the raucous crowd of women and the gaping window, three stories up. With each applicant becoming more desperate than the last, will he somehow manage to find the right woman for the job?

The Applicants is an absurdist comedy, exploring what happens when the pressure of the job interview becomes too much for both applicant and manager.
