Ser Feliz Por Nenhum Motivo

Psychiatrist Marcos Oliveira confronts a daily paradox: his patients seek happiness in diagnoses and prescriptions, yet true wellbeing emerges from simple moments. This 2025 documentary explores contemporary understandings of mental health through the lives of ordinary people across different cultures. The camera follows their daily routines—at work, at home, in solitude and connection. The director avoids didacticism, allowing viewers to draw their own conclusions about the nature of happiness. Themes of mindfulness, social pressure, and finding meaning in the digital noise are woven throughout. It's a meditative journey that raises more questions than it answers.
