Rarely do we find happy protagonists in cinema. We did.

After the 7th of October, a unique voluntary project was launched in Israel: a “year of service” traditionally meant for 18-year-olds, now embraced by a group stepping into it at retirement age. Their first mission takes them to the Gaza border, where they run clinics, tend gardens, and help restore the pulse of daily life in the region. What begins as simple volunteering becomes a journey of renewal — excitement in the face of the unknown, the comfort of belonging, and the rare chance to feel truly alive again. Accidental Happiness is a documentary that dares to capture happiness as it unfolds, in a place and at an age where no one expected to find it.
