Commuter Stress: A Nation on the Move
Releasing Dec 22 2025 • E30 44m
Twenty million people commute to work every day, trying to keep their nerves intact in cars or on trains. Stefan Hoch is one of them. At five in the morning, he leaves his detached house in Wittenberge and gets into his car. By the time he arrives at work around eight, he has already spent three hours traveling.
After the workday, he sets off again in the opposite direction. Fourteen hours after leaving home, he is back again - only to repeat the same routine the next morning. Five days a week: a life constantly on the move.
