Our take

Peter Mettler hit the road for two years for this avant-garde doc and a towering travel diary that cites the influence of Tarkovsky and Antonioni and sees the filmmaker chase that elusive thing we call ‘happiness.’ Winner of the Best Documentary Award at Montreal’s Festival du nouveau cinéma.
