Happiness and Other Disasters

Gabriel Bentham, a 23-year-old gay young adult, is preparing to leave behind his life so far and run away from home. Fleeing from the shadows of the past, he intends to embark on an adventure in the world with his best friend. However, their plans are disrupted by an Icelandic volcanic eruption. They have no other choice but to confront their unresolved issues. But this is just the beginning: the coveted happiness, which Gabriel refers to as the 'Grail," won't come easily. The struggle for love, a secure home, and ambitious goals is only just the beginning. Little does he know, he'll soon have to rescue his love's fiancée, attend a funeral after the wedding ceremony, and face an impending war where he must stand against his own father. The young man finally faces his past, analyzes the present, and does everything he can to achieve the dreams he could only wish for until now. He learns to trust and be disappointed, but most importantly, he realizes that fate writes people into our lives in the most unexpected situations and can just as suddenly erase them. Moreover, there comes a time when we must move on and leave behind those we love. In the sea of expectations, coming both from outside and within, the ultimate question is whether we can truly live freely while pursuing our dreams.
