Finding Bliss:
Fire and Ice

Resignation, frustration and helplessness are what we all face as human beings living on this planet. In a place like Hong Kong these conditions are intensified and amplified by the densely populated living conditions. The pressures of just trying to survive in the big city are already enough to bring people into extreme physical, emotional and mental conditions. These extreme conditions can force humans to lock themselves up in any way.
The pursuit of happiness is one of the main themes of the film. Surprised to find that Hong Kong ranks 74th in the World Happiness Index, la forza creativa Josie Ho decides to do something about it. After interviewing some folks about their personal dissatisfaction, she takes a group of musicians and students to Iceland, officially one of the world’s happiest—and most scenic—countries. There the adventurers relearn how to laugh, connect with and trust one another, explore natural wonders, and, finally, collaborate with Icelandic musicians on a trans-generational musical journey in a dark and disconsolate world.
