The Lovely Month of May
“So, how are you feeling?”
Documentary
Candid interviews of ordinary people on the meaning of happiness, an often amorphous and inarticulable notion that evokes more basic and fundamentally egalitarian ideals of self-betterment, prosperity, tolerance, economic opportunity, and freedom.
VIBE
This film feels like a warm, thoughtful conversation with strangers. It's a gentle, unvarnished look at everyday people sharing their hopes and dreams, creating a quietly profound and optimistic atmosphere.
