SYNOPSIS

Synopsis

Eric, a 30-year-old social worker, returns to his childhood neighbourhood and looks for the home of his old neighbour. He finds that the coupe are still living there, older and with children. As Eric and his old neighbour Habiba reminisce "the old days", a shocking secret is revealed - one that would forever change their lives. Fundamentally Happy takes an unflinching look at the personal and emotional issues surrounding paedophilia, without judgement and blame.
