THE HAPPINESS SHOP

Director & Producer: Brianna Avnell,

 Jacob Willett

THE HAPPINESS SHOP is more than just a retail shop in the streets of Vietnam – it’s a beacon of empowerment and inclusivity. Founded with a unique mission to provide meaningful employment opportunities for women with disabilities. Through their work crafting souvenirs from recycled materials, these remarkable individuals not only earn livelihoods but also gain a sense of purpose and independence.

12-year-old Tatheer embarks on a week-long Police boot camp for girls from a social housing estate in Copenhagen. Far from home, deep in the woods, she navigates grueling rituals, elusive social dynamics, and personal setbacks to find her place in this tender and revealing coming-of-age story.
