Scenario
Amber, the agent of happiness, travels through the Himalayas of Bhutan, exploring people’s happiness. In his long mountain journey, he seeks satisfaction.. Watching Agent of Happiness, I wasn’t sure if it was satire, because the calculation of the happiness index seems… so simple. I mean, the barometer of happiness, if it exists at all, is so complicated because there are too many factors in it. It was wonderful to see the interviews that the two main characters take from people from different walks of life, and the attacks on some people who are happy at the expense of others in their family. Perhaps the moral is that if most things in your life are good enough, you will likely be happy. Even if it takes into account the number of cows you own or the latest iPhone. The main character is charming, and I would like to be as happy as he is in the film, regardless of the sources of his sadness. (Screened at MAMI Mumbai Film Festival 2024.)
