"A tenderhearted comedy... a wonderful film!" -Dennis Dermody, Paper Magazine

From the director of Raise the Red Lantern and The Road Home, Happy Times is a charming, heartwarming comedy about the complex dynamics of relationships and the hysterical complexities inherent in making them work.

In an attempt to impress a portly divorcee that has caught his eye, an unemployed factory worker poses as the wealthy manager of a non existent hotel. Hoping that his fabricated success will lead to holy matrimony, he instead finds himself the guardian of the woman's blind stepdaughter. Now, as the lies get more complicated and the deception more difficult to sustain, the sweet young blind girl and the middle-aged man find themselves forming an emotional friendship that is as touching as it is unlikely.
