Förnuftig fritid

SC 1.1/10 

Year: 1946
Country: Sweden
Section: documentary

Description: The history of leisure is not very old. If today we take it for granted that we don't always have to work, then until the end of the 30s vacation was an unknown phenomenon. The normal Swedish working hours around 1900 were 60 to 75 hours a week. It was something that left very little time to engage in activities other than work. The eight-hour day, with a normal working week of 48 hours because people also worked on Saturdays, was first introduced in 1919. A consequence of this working time regulation was that the wider classes of people had time to devote themselves to other than work. Leisure became a sign of modernity. Free time was, however, time that, it was believed from the government, should be used sensibly and not just for passive time off.

Description: Since 1904, a special Christmas stamp has been published every year, which you can affix to your postal items in connection with the Christmas post. The sale of Christmas tags is the basis for the establishment and operation of the Christmas tag homes around Denmark. The purpose of the homes is to house and help vulnerable and particularly needy children. The film shows various recordings from the daily life of seven homes, including Hobro, Juelsminde (closed in 1956), Fjordmark at Flensborg Fjord, Holbølls Minde in Svendborg, Lindersvold, Mørkøv and Kildemose at Frederiksværk. Children's Day consists of, among other things, of teaching, doctor's visits, playing and having fun in the garden with pets, communal dining, light field and garden work, walks and beach trips. At Christmas time, the children frolic in the snow, and on Christmas Eve they dance around the Christmas tree and receive presents from Santa Claus.
