Work Hard Play Hard

2012 · 40 min · Documentary, Animation

One of them quit coke only after he had looked death in the face. The other thinks he can control his consumption and wants to keep taking coke up until his dying day if possible. WORK HARD PLAY HARD tells the story of two coke addicts: A restless yuppie and a jaded clown. A milieu survey that visualizes what coke does to people and boldly blurs the boundaries between documentary and animation film. A provoking film that will become subject of controversial public discussion.
