How can happiness be measured?

Buddhist monk Amber's task is to travel to the Himalayan mountain villages in Bhutan and report on the happiness of the citizens. The specific calculations are influenced by the number of goats in the village and the feelings surrounding the passing of a husband. Amber's own matters of the heart cannot be forgotten either.

The documentary film Agent of Happiness is a deeply probing depiction of humanity in stunning mountain landscapes. The film takes the audience to universal questions in a country where the king has historically kept his people separated from the rest of the world. The story consists of a series of warm encounters in more and more remote villages.
