Speed - In Search of Lost Time

We are constantly saving time. Nevertheless, we have less and less of it in the end. Why is that? In the rhythm of electronic means of communication, we rush from one appointment to the next. But there seems to be no time left for the really important things, like friends and family. Who or what is actually driving this acceleration? Is it a social phenomenon or is it all just due to the inadequate time management of the individual? In his documentary film “SPEED - In Search of Lost Time”, filmmaker and author Florian Opitz sets out to find lost time. Where has all the time gone that we have laboriously saved with all the new technologies and efficiency models? Opitz meets people who drive the acceleration and those who dare to live alternatives to the omnipresent restlessness. He asks time management experts, therapists and scientists about the causes and effects of chronic time pressure. He meets management consultants and players who are active in the international financial market and are turning the screw on time. And he meets people who have gotten off their own personal hamster wheel and those who are looking for social alternatives. In his search, he discovers that a different pace is possible, we just have to want it.
