An experimental documentary filmed entirely with a body camera worn by a diverse bunch of seemingly ordinary people from different parts of the world, who are trying to find happiness in everyday life; overcoming, ignoring or passing by its existential challenges - depression, war, poverty, boredom, broken hearts, senselessness, inequality. An intimate journey through many different lives and realities, which underlines how much closer, familiar and understandable we are to each other.
