How can you measure happiness? The country of Bhutan invented Gross National Happiness to do just that, and Amber is one of the agents who travels door to door to meet people and measure how happy they really are. A hopeless romantic, he is still living with his elderly mother at the age of forty and dreams of finding love: a happiness agent in search of his own happiness. We join him on a cross-country road trip meeting citizens from all walks of life, reminding us of the fragility and beauty of our own happiness. No matter where we live.
