SMS From Shangri-La (2010)

Storyline

"Gross national happiness is more important than gross national product", declares the King of Bhutan. Can happiness be decreed?

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...
