LA FELICITÀ È UN SISTEMA COMPLESSO

LA FELICITÀ È UN SISTEMA COMPLESSO
by Gianni Zanasi
Country: Italy
Year: 2015
Duration: 117'


Enrico Giusti’s job is to approach irresponsible managers who risk ruining their companies. He frequents them, he becomes their friend and he convinces them to leave their company, thus avoiding bankruptcy. It’s the strangest and most useful job he could invent for himself and Enrico doesn’t miss a trick. One morning, the parents of an eighteen-year-old boy and his thirteen-year-old sister die in an accident. The siblings are set to become the directors of a nationally-important industrial group. Enrico has to prevent this from happening: it should be an easy case, the crowning achievement of his career, but things get complicated. And the unexpected arrival of the foreign girlfriend of his brother makes things even more difficult. But actually, this is the case the man has been waiting for and which will let him change his life forever.

Declaration

film director

“I felt it was a film which didn’t so much talk about ‘chief systems’ as about something precise and tangible which I have perceived and felt as a base note in and around me over these past years: the effort of change, both from a collective and a personal point of view, and how these planes are intertwined. As they say, ‘Happiness is a complex system’.”
