Synopsis: A girl roams through the city looking
for a place to sleep. Along the way she meets
young mothers who celebrate motherhood reli-
giously, goes home with an abstinent existen-
tialist for whom sex is “just another market”,
and waits for the end of capitalism in a drag
bar. Her attempt to write a book doesn’t make
it beyond the first sentence of the second chap-
ter, and she finds no space between art galler-
ies, yoga studios and the beds of strangers.
Instead of trying to fit in, she starts regarding
her depression as a political issue. Through 15
of the girl’s humorous encounters, Aren’t ou
Happy? explores our post-modern society
between precarity and marketing, serial
monogamy and neo-spirituality, disillusionment
and the pressure to be happy. Susanne
