Overview
Happiness is a 2017 Japanese drama film with a runtime of one hour and thirty minutes. The film was released in Japan on March 16, 2017, and is rated R18+. The story follows a mysterious man who arrives in a quiet Japanese town carrying a strange helmet. This device allows individuals to re-experience the happiest moment of their lives. As the man encourages the local villagers to recall their happy pasts, he exhibits a deepening sense of sadness and worry. The narrative explores the secret behind the helmet and the underlying motivations of the man who brought it to the village. The film is distinct from other projects sharing the same title, such as the 1998 American black comedy-drama directed by Todd Solondz or the 2021 documentary Mission: Joy - Finding Happiness in Troubled Times. This archival record confirms the production details and core premise of the 2017 drama as documented by the Movie Database.
