Hector And The Search For Happiness Trailer

Hector (Simon Pegg) is a top psychiatrist who may appear to have everything one needs in life; a comfortable salary, his beautiful girlfriend Clara (Rosamund Pike) and plenty of friends; but after spending day after day listening to people complain about being so unhappy, he's starting to lose faith in his own advice. Bored of his own routine life, he takes a break from counselling and decides to embark on a round the world trip to uncover the true meaning of happiness. Visiting foreign lands far and wide shows him just how different people's lives really are and far from learning whether or not happiness exists, he begins to discover a new way of thinking. His desperate partner is feeling less than joyful about his long absence, but will his return bring them a fresh dose of contentment? Or will he decide that happiness can't be found within his London home?

'Hector and the Search For Happiness' is an amusing tale of self-discovery based on the novel 'Hector's Voyage or the Search for Happiness' by French psychiatrist François Lelord. The movie adaptation has been directed by BAFTA nominated Peter Chelsom ('Hannah Montana: The Movie', 'Serendipity', 'Shall We Dance') who co-wrote alongside Maria von Heland ('Big Girls Don't Cry', 'Search', 'England!') and Tinker Lindsay. 'Hector...' won Best Foreign Comedy Trailer at the 2014 Golden Trailer Awards and is due to be released in UK cinemas on August 15th 2014.
