What does a future without work and its central role in shaping our lives and identities look like? As human jobs are increasingly assumed by automation and AI, will universal guaranteed income and unlimited leisure replace employment?


The majority of jobs that exists today will disappear within a few decades. As technology surpasses human capacity, we have the opportunity to rethink the role of work in our lives. Are we ready for an excess of time? For a work-free existence?


Sweeping across four continents, the film describes widely different lives where some barely spend any time outside of work while others bathe in leisure. Through these stories and characters we are thrown into the existential tension between that which is and that which could be.

Description

"Bread Bike" is Sam, Matt and Mariah — three young people who weren’t satisfied with what they studied in college. Instead they were following their passion, baking bread and making friends. Then they found each other. Now with their philosophy that “everyone loves good food”, they’ve created a unique way to create friendship, fun and community.
