A psychiatrist in need of...therapy.
Hector seems to have the perfect life. A good job, an amazing
girlfriend, an orderly life. Yet, something seems to be missing. Though
a successful psychiatrist, he struggles to advice his clients as to
what makes one happy.
So, he decides to travel the world in order to find out what happiness
is. His journey takes him to Asia, Africa and the States in a whirlwind
of experiences not to mention new found knowledge and wisdom.
On the hole, it is a pleasant and cheerful experience. In a way, Hector
speaks for many of us who wish we could just drop everything and get on
a plane so that we can find ourselves. He searches for happiness, which
is so complex and means different things to different people.
A worthwhile experience for the seekers out there.
