Do you not have enough time for your family, friends and hobbies? Are you not living the way you would like? The feeling of constantly playing "catch-up" and being under time constraints led young German director Florian Opitz to seek the causes of this problem in modern society as well as possible solutions. One thing is certain – people are trapped by the speed of the modern world. Despite the fact they're using technology meant to save time, they still don't have enough. Opitz takes his camera around the world. He attends an expert seminar. With a psychologist, he analyses burn-out syndrome. He meets with a journalist who voluntarily gave up his mobile phone and the internet. He talks with a sociologist and takes his quest to various sectors of business and the media world. He finds a counterpoint to this unfortunate trend among people who decided to slow down their lives and live in greater harmony with nature. One of the places Opitz visited was Bhutan, which measures the quality of life in accordance with Buddhist doctrine, using a "gross national happiness" index. An extra dimension is added to Opitz's travels – shot in the form of a playful, personal diary – thanks to original animation and other creative methods. (Jeden svet)
