SMS From Shangri-La
"Gross national happiness is more important than gross national product", declares the King of Bhutan. Can happiness be decreed? We accompany seven Swiss musicians to this mountainous Himalayan country. Between concerts, we meet Bhutanese people in their daily lives, who tell us, as if in passing, what makes them happy. Are we capable of finding happiness elsewhere? Does the advantage of globalization lie precisely in the erasure of the elsewhere? The whole world is in the here and now, and distant horizons are always close to us, transported by SMS...
