Short description

Hector is a quirky psychiatrist who has become increasingly tired of his humdrum life. As he tells his girlfriend, Clara, he feels like a fraud: he hasn’t really tasted life, and yet he’s offering advice to patients who are just not getting any happier. So Hector decides to break out of his deluded and routine driven life. Armed with buckets of courage and child-like curiosity, he embarks on a global quest in hopes of uncovering the elusive secret formula for true happiness. And so begins a larger than life adventure with riotously funny results.

What's left behind the scenes

Several books about Tintin and posters featuring him can be seen in Hector's office. Hector's father also refers to him by his childhood nickname, Tintin. Simon Pegg previously starred in "The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn" (2011).
