In this brilliantly animated collection of stories concerning affairs of the heart, three threads in the complex tapestry of human relations are woven together. First, two women meet at the wedding of a third they both love and discover that perhaps, together, they have found a way to move on. Next, a former student confesses his attraction to his male teacher, not knowing that the latter has long harbored similar emotions. Finally, in two connected tales, two friends must learn to understand the new things they have begun to feel, first as children and then, again, as blossoming adults. Love, like everything else in life, doesn’t always evolve as expected in HAPPY-GO-LUCKY DAYS.
