A cinematic essay on happiness.
The director (Alfred Edel) works on a film in which an actress (Cornelia Franke) plays the role of Tyche, the Greek goddess of happiness. A journalist (Moc Thyssen) with the motto: “Happy is who forgets …” is looking for stories. This is how he meets the film team.

Subjective associative montages of images and texts on the subject of ‘What does happiness mean’ are part of this film. A multi-faceted film to laugh and think about.
