Sometimes to find yourself you need to get a little lost.
Hector is a quirky psychiatrist who has become increasingly tired of his humdrum life. As he tells his girlfriend, Clara, he feels like a fraud: he hasn’t really tasted life, and yet he’s offering advice to patients who are just not getting any happier. So Hector decides to break out of his deluded and routine driven life. Armed with buckets of courage and child-like curiosity, he embarks on a global quest in hopes of uncovering the elusive secret formula for true happiness. And so begins a larger than life adventure with riotously funny results.

- a.k.a. Hector's Reise oder die Suche nach dem Glück
Der Londoner Psychiater Hector ist vielleicht ein bisschen exzentrisch, aber im Grunde einfach liebenswert. Nur ein Problem wird er einfach nicht los, dabei gibt er sich wirklich die größte Mühe: Seine Patienten werden einfach nicht glücklich. Eines Tages, von kindlicher Neugier gepackt, nimmt Hector all seinen Mut zusammen und beschließt, London, seine Praxis und seinen Alltag hinter sich zu lassen, um sich nur noch dieser einen Frage zu widmen: Gibt es das wahre Glück? Und das auch für ihn? So begibt er sich schließlich auf eine weite, gefährliche, aber vor allem auch sehr lustige und emotionale Reise um den ganzen Erdball.

Italian (Italiano)
Hector è un eccentrico ma irresistibile psichiatra di Londra, in crisi perché non riesce a capire i motivi dell'infelicità dei suoi pazienti. Un giorno, armandosi di coraggio e con una curiosità quasi infantile, Hector decide di partire in giro per il mondo per scoprire se la felicità esista ancora e quale sia il suo segreto. Ha inizio in questo modo un viaggio che, tra incontri e avventure, aiuterà Hector a ritrovare prima di tutto se stesso.
