“This film is not going to make you happy.” But what, then? In an eighteen-month experiment, the graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister turned to the question of whether it is possible to learn and practice happiness. With playful typography sequences, clever and aesthetically impressive design objects, and mainly, disarming openness, Sagmeister’s directing debut is a film about life’s major themes – art, love, death, and the eternal, not always cheerful search for happiness.
