A gentle, observational portrait of ordinary Parisians reflecting on happiness and human aspiration, captured through candid street interviews in the cinéma vérité tradition.
Candid interviews of ordinary people on the meaning of happiness, an often amorphous and inarticulable notion that evokes more basic and fundamentally egalitarian ideals of self-betterment, prosperity, tolerance, economic opportunity, and freedom.
