Storyline

Based on the best-selling psychology book of the same title by Paul Watzlawick, "Anleitung zum Unglücklichsein" tells the story of Tiffany Blechschmid, a neurotic, moony, superstitious, contradictory and, no surprises here, single young woman in her late-twenties. The Berlin gourmet shop she owns sells fortune cookies, although Tiffany herself has a great personal mistrust of good fortune, and especially happiness. Previously, every time she has felt happy has been followed immediately by some kind of disaster. It's enough to make her question the whole concept of happiness. Why, she asks herself, is everyone so crazy to find it? What does love have to do with happiness anyway? And how come we always trip ourselves up just when we might actually be getting closer to it, such as even when the man of Tiffany's dreams appears suddenly and unexpectedly too?
