A joyful celebration of life and the relentless pursuit of one’s dreams. Centered on Poland’s famous trans-Atlantic kayaker Aleksander “Olo” Doba and told in the style of a road movie, ”Happy Olo” is a merry tale filled with optimism, music and love of life.

The film challenges cinematic convention as it follows the youthful 70-year old Olo through the Polish countryside, kayak in tow. During his overland journey he shares his stories and song, juxtaposed with footage of his Transatlantic exploits and animations of his numerous adventures. This film, with its larger-than-life character and radiant optimism, will be adored by viewers of all ages.
