***Not recommended for children under 12 years of age.***
The documentary filmmaking team of directors Arun Bhattarai and Dorottya Zurbó followed the life of Amber Gurung, a forty-something happiness agent. In Bhutan, a tiny Himalayan kingdom of just 700,000 people, staff from the Happiness Research Institute travel the country, measuring the happiness levels of the population through a four-hour questionnaire. The results are used to draw up five-year development plans, the primary aim of which is to further increase the 'happiness index' of Bhutanese society.
In the film, Amber visits isolated villages house to house. Through her, we get an intimate insight into the daily lives of Bhutanese society: what makes them truly happy, and can happiness really be measured? Throughout the story, we not only learn about the aspirations of ordinary people, but also about the personal fate of our protagonist, whose greatest dream is to finally find love.

Bem Cinema
In January 2016, the 108-year-old Bem Cinema will reopen its doors to the public, in a new way never seen before in Hungary: as a cinema of cult and classic films (no harm!), or as the educated French say (if you know your English): as a "repertory cinema".
