"Fifty years ago people on the streets of Paris were asked: Are you happy? in a documentary experiment with the new film technology of 1960 - hand-held sync sound. Searching for Happiness takes advantage of a new era of creative technology to ask the same question today.

In a documentary first, producer Mandy Rose has brought those recordings together with live feeds from the web to create a documentary experience which never plays the same way twice.
