Directed by Bohdan Slama. Monika, Tonik and Dasha grew up together in the same housing project on the outskirts of a small industrial city. Now the childhood friends are adults, each struggling with feelings of desire and loneliness, longing and failure. Though none would admit it, each craves something the other has and it's these unspoken longings which bind them in difficult, complex, passionate friendships. Vibrant and deeply affecting, Something Like Happiness is a funny and tender and very human drama of passions and lives half-understood and veering out of control, shadowed by tragedy, shot through with hope. Language:Czech with English subtitles. Running Time: 102 Minutes
