Streetphilosophy roams the streets of Berlin to find answers to philosophical questions. In this episode Ronja von Rönne asks: What is happiness? How do I please myself while also pleasing others? And how can I realise my desires?

Is lazy good? Ronja meets ex-football player Kevin Pannewitz, who was about to break through into the Bundesliga, but was kicked out by the clubs for lack of discipline. Today he plays in the district league and is a happy father.

It's a radical act against our high-speed society and the never-ending drive for production and growth.
