Agent of Happiness

Amber is one of 75 agents who took on the mission to measure Bhutan’s Gross National Happiness, traveling across the country to meet people from all walks of life. He and his partner survey them with over a hundred questions in nine categories. Director Dorottya Zurbó showcases the sprawling beauty of the Bhutanese landscape alongside the everyday realities of various Bhutanese people.

Meanwhile, Amber is on his personal journey for happiness, namely through his search for marriage in the little spare time he has juggling his work and caretaking of his mother. The difficulties of distilling happiness into a single cohesive form are left for the viewers to contemplate.
