How Many People Does It Take for You to Do Nothing?

You’re on the sofa. Your phone is charged. Your sandwich is ready. You’re doing absolutely nothing—but how many people are working behind the scenes to make that possible? This stickman documentary follows the hidden systems supporting an ordinary day: the electricity powering your screen, the internet delivering your videos, the water reaching your tap, and the supply chains bringing food to your plate. Then we follow what leaves your home—and discover why even your sofa contains work completed long before you sat down. Explore: • The infrastructure hiding behind everyday convenience. • The workers and handoffs connecting your home to the wider world. • Why counting everyone involved is harder than it sounds.
