SMS From Shangri-La

No tagline for this movie

"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.

The whole world is in the here and now, and distant horizons are always close to us, transported by SMS...
