First Happiness

About This Movie

First Happiness is an intriguing exploration of mental health through the eyes of five patients. The film has this raw, understated tone that really draws you in, showing their struggles and small victories. Carmen, the caretaker, is portrayed with warmth, her interactions feel genuine, capturing the essence of rejoining society. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing viewers to connect with each character's journey. It’s not flashy, and the practical effects are minimal, which gives it a grounded feel. What stands out is how it handles the delicate subject matter with respect, avoiding clichés. It’s a different kind of drama that makes you think about the complexities of mental illness and the challenges of finding one’s place in the world.
