In collaboration with:

The tiny Kingdom of Bhutan consistently tops international happiness surveys. The Buddhist nation’s Gross National Happiness Index is essential for government decision-making. It all sounds idyllic, but the reality is more complex. Traveling through picturesque Himalayan villages and bustling urban centers, Amber, the film’s protagonist, interviews locals from all walks of life about their well-being and contentedness, all while grappling with the conservatism of Bhutanese society and searching for the formula that will bring a little happiness and fulfillment into his own life.
