| Summary: | A portrayal of daily life, this German silent movie, filmed over a succession of Sundays in the summer of 1929, deals with how five young Berliners spend their precious leisure time, following the lives of five non-actors whose day jobs were those that they portrayed in the film: Erwin, a taxi driver, meets up with a young traveling salesman and his female companions who are on their way to a nearby lake for a day of swimming, snoozing, and flirting, leaving the cabbie's wife to sleep away her Sunday
