Hector and the Search for Happiness
Based on the bestselling novel by François Lelord. Eccentric, lovable psychiatrist Hector has a hard time: Despite his best efforts, his patients remain unhappy. One day, he's had enough and decides to pack his backpack and set out in search of true happiness. Is there even such a thing? Perhaps even for himself? Equipped with a lot of courage and a childlike sense of curiosity, Hector plunges into adventure and leaves London far behind. His long, perilous, and amusing journey leads him all over the world and supplies a few answers to his most pressing questions, along with meeting a bunch of interesting people on the way.
