Happy Life

HAPPY LIFE is a multi-plot dramedy about ambitions and suppressed forces, about the misty border between dreams and reality, about the dream of happiness and the organized life, where you can plan for everything, except chance. The series evolves around the two 25-year-old twins, Lykke and Thomas Leth. They share a tragic past, having lost their parents at an early age, under circumstances they prefer not to talk about. The twins have reacted to their loss in very different ways. While Thomas has been undergoing therapy for depression for several years, Lykke has gained a degree at Copenhagen Business School with top marks and immediately afterwards found a job with the pharmaceutical giant SanaFortis. Here she is looking forward to a meteoric career. Lykke’s struggle for her career and battles (and perhaps aspiring romance?) with her psychologist neighbor Anders Assing provide the main story in the series. This is supplemented by Thomas’ efforts to free himself from his role as a loser and SanaFortis’ fight for survival. Over and above this we meet a wide range of characters that each undergo surprising changes when their view of happiness is challenged by chance.
