“The top layer of Adventures of a Happy Homeless Man is a comedy. It’s about a mischievous man who deals with life difficulties with confidence and his own unique humorous view of life. Underneath the comedy layer, there’s a subtle-yet-impactful drama layer that ask the questions about happiness, passion, self-discovery and love”
