Why a land of ice and fire fosters such high happiness
In short: This documentary explores Iceland’s dramatic geography, from seething geysers to almighty glaciers. It investigates a compelling paradox: why residents of this remote island often report higher levels of happiness than those in sunnier climates.
The film offers a scenic expedition through a landscape defined by extreme natural forces, including majestic volcanoes, powerful waterfalls, and threatening fjords. It captures these elements using high-class production equipment to provide a detailed look at the island's unique environment.
Beyond the scenery, the documentary seeks to understand the cultural psychology of Iceland's inhabitants. It examines how people living in a country with limited sunlight during certain months maintain a euphoric disposition compared to more sun-blessed nations.
