Synopsis

A fast-paced, humorous and thought-provoking film emphasizing the use of leisure time as an important aspect of life in our society today. Planning for recreation and leisure time should be undertaken both on a personal and a public level. Beginning with prehistoric man's first moment of play, this witty "history" of leisure suggests that what we do with our leisure time may become the determining factor in society's system of values.
