L'homme trop pressé prend son thé à la fourchette

Esclave de la vitesse absolue, l'homme pressé «zappe» sa vie. À l'utopie de la civilisation des loisirs semble avoir succédé le temps de la performance et du tout-communication. De nos jours, la technologie s'emballe, le temps s'accélère et paradoxalement, l'homme contemporain n'a jamais été aussi coupé de lui-même. Mais au-delà du constat alarmiste, la réconciliation avec soi et un temps plus personnel reste néanmoins envisageable. Documentaire et fiction, le film s'attache au parcours de plusieurs individus pris dans la tourmente du monde moderne.
