\n\u00ab How can we live with the abandonment of our parents, who are supposed to be there and love us unconditionally?<\/em><\/p>\nBy inventing another world, a different reality, by living in a lucid dream that is, incessantly and day by day, reconstructed all over again.<\/em><\/p>\nIt prevents us from thinking about our original trauma, gives us a thirst for life, while approaching others with as little risk as possible.<\/em><\/p>\nSa\u00fcl Birnbaum is a \u201chidden child\u201d, one of those who, at the age of only 6, had to be separated from his parents to escape the impending Shoah and be sent abroad by a so-called \u201cKindertransport\u201d, from Vienna to Brussels.<\/em><\/p>\nIn 1986, Sa\u00fcl is on the path to resilience. He reinvents his life and tries to re-enchant it by opening a delicatessen, unlike any other, where the 7th art of cinema triumphs, through permanent renditions on the stage of this restaurant, every single day. Sa\u00fcl and his prot\u00e9g\u00e9 Joakin, a young Chilean director who fled from Pinochet, decide to write the story of Sa\u00fcl\u2019s childhood and turn it into a film, allowing both of them to \u201cheal\u201d just a little more.<\/em><\/p>\nAlas, love comes knocking on Sa\u00fcl\u2019s door and he is confronted with his past. She loves him, he loves her, she disappears, he loses himself, she comes back to him, he is reinvigorated, she abandons him again, he despairs\u2026<\/em><\/p>\nThe Way to Happiness is a story that teaches us to never, ever abandon love!\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n.<\/p>\n
