And so, as yet another troubled patient leaves his office without much sign of improvement, Pegg decides to up sticks to China in an attempt to rejuvenate himself and recover his lost mojo.
So begins an attempt to rediscover “happiness”, and just how it might be achieved. However, as Pegg sets about cheering himself up, his wife’s (Rosamund Pike) patience becomes increasingly frayed…

Adapted from the novel by François Lelord, directed by Peter Chelsom and co-starring Christopher Plummer, Toni Collette and Stellan Skarsgård, Hector And The Search For Happiness will open in the UK this autumn.
