Amber, a happiness agent, treks the Himalayas of Bhutan, surveying people’s happiness. On his remote mountain trek, he seeks fulfillment.. This is the "happiness agent" instead? Don’t be satisfied with just enough, but be genuinely satisfied with the many things in your life. Amber tries to find out as he travels the breadth of this small Himalayan kingdom, biannually, trying to find out how its citizens feel about things. Using a combination of tools, he chats with residents, old and new, urban and rural, traditional and modern – all with the aim of confirming how the population feels and feeding it back to a government willing to listen and learn about those attitudes. To keep its people in a good place – mentally and physically. This documentary introduces us to a group of people whose aspirations vary considerably – sometimes in terms of age, ability, location, education/vocational skills – but often you are left with a sense of appreciation for their surroundings. While their livelihoods may seem more basic, agricultural, and undeveloped than Westerners; their own understanding of their existence in the mountains, with its beautiful scenery, fresh air, and blessings from their God, seems to give them a vague sense of fulfillment and fulfillment. Obviously not everyone is satisfied, but the "cries" seem to span all demographics, shouting that the king is not broken and that it is not broken, so don’t fix it. There are a few characters here, some more entertaining and some more simple, and perhaps Amber has her work cut out for her in trying to get meaningful answers to her questions so that she can extract data usefully. In a society that hasn’t really evolved technologically, it still seems like everyone has access to the internet, and everyone has a proud tradition of using information to empower their decision-making – yet they still feel that magic word is widespread. Happy. Owning cows seems to help too!
