Two young nuns explore Chicago—from a supermart to the Art Institute and in front of churches on Sunday—confronting people with the crucial question, “Are you happy?” They meet many people—a lonely girl, a happy mother, a nun, some lovers, two hippie musicians, a lady sociologist, a college professor, even Stepin Fetchit; and receive many answers—“Happiness is the absence of fear,” “Avoiding people,” “Rasberries,” “Joy in knowing Christ.” The humor and sadness of these honest encounters lift the film beyond its interview format to a serious and moving inquiry into the concerns of contemporary man, and also into the circumstances in which men will actually express their concerns.
