Synopse
ESSAY Furious vision of a future in which the role of work socially and individually has to be renegotiated. In an ecstatic panopticon, the film examines people on four continents who are organizing their lives in the context of a work-free existence, have to fill the freewheeling life of state-guaranteed employment or dedicate themselves to the ecstatic condition of uninterrupted activity. The film investigates what effects of the radically changing world of work due to continuing technologization can already be predicted. The various different perspectives create a fast-paced, rousing and partially absurd panorama of the relationship between human beings and their work.
