How it feels

This Danish documentary is a short sketch inspired by Pieter Brueghel's 16th century painting 'Children's Games'. It shows children in 1987 still playing many of the same games from the painting, despite the abundance of modern and futuristic toys.

What happens

Tidløs Leg er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1987 instrueret af Vagn Sørensen. En lille skitse, der har sin inspiration fra Pieter Brueghels billede 'børneleg' malet for ca. 350 år siden. Børn i 1987 leger stadig mange af billedets lege til trods for overflod af nutidens og fremtidens legetøj. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
