    • Synopsis
    • Set in a dark, surreal and pre-apocalyptic Naples, The Art of Happiness (L'arte della felicità)
      is the first animated feature by Alessandro Rak, written by the director along with producer Luciano Stella.

      Premiered Out of Competition at Venice Film Festival's 28th International Film Critics' Week, THE ART OF HAPPINESS won “Best Debut Feature Film” at 21st Raindance Film Festival in London, “Audience Award” at 33th Anima International Animation Film Festival of Brussels.

      The movie tells the story of Sergio, a former pianist now a taxi driver, who abandoned music when his brother Alfredo, with whom he shared this passion, left Naples to move to India.

      He'll look for his brother and will find out a new path to happiness.
