It’s a film by Reinigungsgesellschafft, a German artists group that
works in the area of economics and art:
http://www.reinigungsgesellschaft.de/video/frank.htm . As they describe
it:
“The film shows one day in Frank's life. He is a pensioner, a
leisure time hero and a passionate owner of a motorized bicycle. With his
very own lifestyle he is a supporter of slowing down everyday life. On a
cold day in January, Frank rides his motorized bicycle for 60 kilometres
in order to buy a carton of cigarettes at the border of the Czech
Republic. Describing his philosophy of life at a gas station he teaches
us a lesson concerning the seeking after happiness.”
