Italian-Swedish documentary director Erik Gandini returns to Italian screens with AfterWork. Gandini, who teaches documentary cinema at Stockholm University, has directed and produced many appreciated works such as The Swedish Theory of Love.
After Work follows several protagonists to the four corners of the world: from America where work is a common obsession without which it seems impossible to live, to Korea where this productive obsession is becoming a social disease. "The paradox of work is that many people hate their work but are much more unhappy if they do nothing," says Gandini.
