Synopsis
Felix is a good-looking guy, well positioned, with a great flat, a pretty girlfriend, good health ... and no lack of anything, but even so, not happy.
His girlfriend Rachel tries to support him with all her self-help knowledge. One night, when she can no longer try, she decides to give him a writing that she saw on facebook one day, called "The ritual of happiness," which contains 12 steps to be happy. It basically says that if you have faith in life and ask the universe it can show you how you can be happy just by following 12 steps, then you will be able to leave inside sadness aside and find happiness. But the next morning, everything will start to change in Felix’s life

The team
We have already presented “The ritual of Happiness” main character and director but to carry out the project is necessary to have a technical and artistic crew.
The cast will be the public face of the project, but there are so many people behind the scenes who are also involved and are the key of this project.
Little by little we will meet the "The Ritual of Happiness" team, but for now we will introduce two important people:
Photography Director: Alex Delgado Gerlach
Young film and image lover, with over 10 years of experience, he is growing as a technician and photography director, along with Xavi Giménez (Agora, The Machinist), Paco Femenia (Alatriste) or Sergi Gallardo (The Wild Ones , Angels of Sex).
Alex works again with Carlos Ocho after his previous work in Open Relationship.
Director’s Assistant and Co-Editor: Massimo Meroni Perego
He has been always fascinated by the cinema world and by management and assembly in particular. Massimo was trained at the School of Cinema in Milan and since then he has been very versatile in its work occupying different positions (writer, editor, camera operator) where he has learned very important skills but he has always been focusing more in the direction and in his work as a Director’s Assistant in his more important projects (a movie, 4 short films and several web branded content documentaries).
He is also audiovisual producer of music videos and commercials.
