Comedy

Borrowed Happiness follows a group of bar regulars, inside and out of their favorite watering hole.

The story explores, often with humor, the possibility that the guys might find the true happiness they seek, without having to settle for drunken euphoria.

Almost baroque in its ambition and detail, Akerman and Seabra Lopes’ mesmerising short film delves deeply into the hard-wired dread of music lessons. Sewn around Schubert’s steely Opus 1, which is itself based on the no less terrifying legend of Goethe's Erlkönig, their film is a revelation.” International Film Festival Rotterdam.
