Happiness Mode is an intriguing slice-of-life documentary that dives into the daily regime of a maternity ward. Shot in a raw and unvarnished style, it captures the mundane yet profound moments of motherhood—women preparing to feed, the quiet intimacy of breastfeeding, and even the more personal acts like expressing milk or painting nails. The pacing feels almost meditative, allowing viewers to absorb the atmosphere. There's no grand narrative arc, just the rhythm of everyday life in a hospital setting. It’s a vivid portrayal of vulnerability, connection, and the shared experience among women, which sets it apart from more conventional docs. The absence of a known director lends it a certain mysterious charm, almost like discovering a hidden gem.
