13 conversations about one thing - 7

What is happiness? And why does it seem to directly and indirectly shape the way we live? This film is able to give great insight into the pursuit of happiness and the human struggle, through guilt and suffering, to live a more full life. To understand happiness is to understand the human condition, and to ask what is it that we are living for/against/toward/and maybe away from?
Interestingly enough Aristotle deals with happiness in his Nicomachean Ethics , which begs the question, how are the moral life and happiness connected? This film is not going to give you some grandiose idea of how to find happiness, but it asks the crucial questions along that journey.
