A film to lower morale! Konstantin Faigle's essayistic-satirical docu-fiction shows: Modern enlightened man is not free of erroneous beliefs and spiritual compulsion. He has long since chosen another god: Work. Work is an addiction, a fetish, a mantra that surrounds us every day. It is at the same time security, self-affirmation and raison d'être. In times of economic crisis and rapid job cuts, Frohes Schaffen questions this "sacred" meaning of work. A wonderfully heretical, cinematic reflection - entertaining, humorous and at the same time profound.
