Overview

When director Miyoshi saw a town full of happy young people, he thought. "Is everyone really happy?" The film is a "documentary-style story of the modern search for happiness", in which video cameras were used to interview various young people in schools, train stations and on street corners. The film asks questions such as: "Are you happy now?", "What is sheer happiness?", "What is boring and what is fun?", "How old do you want to live until?", "What is your dream for the future?".
