Can you measure happiness?
The country of Bhutan invented Gross National Happiness to do just that, and Amber is one of the agents who travel around to meet people and measure how happy they really are.
Aged 40, he still lives with his elderly mother but nonetheless still dreams of finding love: a happiness agent in search of his own happiness. In this contemplative, impressionistic doc, we embark on a road trip with Amber, meeting citizens from all walks of life and reminding us of the fragility and beauty of our own happiness. But will Amber find his own along the way?
"Two assessors ask questions but it’s the detail and nuance that is so compelling in this gently absorbing documentary" - The Guardian
