Kasseler Dokumentarfilm- und Videofest

It is a fetish, a mantra, a secret religion to modern man: work. Konstantin Faigle set out on a mission to expose the living practice of our unquestionable faith. Through pointed interviews with experts, visits to absurd martyrs and temples of productive activity, both real and imagined, and the high drama of biting satirical sketches, we glimpse the philosophical core, and not the mere conditions, of work. In times of financial crisis and massive job reductions, this documentary questions work as our "hallow" meaning of life, in a way that proves to be both highly humorous and painful to us.
