Leisure is an important aspect of life today. In a brilliantly animated film, we survey man’s encounter, at long last, with the idea that what de does with his leisure time may become the determining factor in society’s system of values. In a witty and lighthearted “history” of leisure, from the caveman’s first moment of play, through the Industrial Revolution’s triumph over scarcity, to the novel situation in which we are beginning to care about having a good environment for our leisure hours.
