Description
‘A tender and whimsical story’ Elle
Everyone, at some point in their lives, wants to be someone else.
Eric Kherson – forty, divorced, disconnected – is questioning all his life choices. One meeting with an old school friend is all it takes for him to pack in his prestigious job and accept her offer of a high-powered government position.
He throws himself into her world of endless networking and high-risk deals, but when a business trip to Seoul starts unravelling, Eric feels more lost than ever. Wandering the city streets, he stumbles across Happy Life, a shop offering a curious service: fake funerals. For Eric, this encounter with death might be the very thing to reawaken his appetite for life…
