Brazilian writer. Jose Costa, like many writers, has a literary slave. Jose returns from a conference of the same writers, the plane lands in Budapest. Here Jose meets Christa, and this acquaintance has a strong influence on his future fate.
This is not the first time Budapest has raised the issue of the complex, hostile relationship between a writer and an author working for him. For example, a similar theme has already been convincingly played out in "Rail Novel" Claude Lelouch. But Budapest takes a slightly different approach to the problem, looking at it from a different point of view.
The role of the main character went to actor Leonardo Medeiros. In his performance, Jose Costa turned out to be a character full of contradictions and arrogance, not noticed by anyone, but at the same time feeling his superiority. close

Happy is a 2011 feature documentary film directed, written, and co-produced by Roko Belic. It explores human happiness through interviews with people from all walks of life in 14 different countries, weaving in the newest findings of positive psychology. Director Roko Belic was originally inspired to create the film after producer/director Tom Shadyac (Liar, Liar, Patch Adams, Bruce Almighty) showed him an article in the New York Times entitled "A New Measure of Well Being From a Happy Little Kingdom". The article ranks the United States as the 23rd happiest country in the world. Shadyac then suggested that Belic make a documentary about happiness. Belic spent several years interviewing over 20 people, ranging from leading happiness researchers to a rickshaw driver in Kolkatta, a family living in a "co-housing community" in Denmark, a woman who was run over by a truck, a Cajun fisherman, and more. close
