Alison Pill interpreta a Emma, una guionista de cómics que trabaja en la historia de Edward (Gael García Bernal, Z), el hombre de sus sueños, un director de películas de acción bastante arrogante. Pero ahí no acaba la cosa. Edward graba una cinta sobre Michelle, una modelo brasileña (Mariana Ximenes) que, a su vez, escribe un libro centrado en una guionista de cómics. ¿Adivinas cómo se llama? Emma. Morelli adapta a la gran pantalla un guion firmado por Matt Hansen que, visto lo visto, suena a una mezcla de Más extraño que la ficción y Origen.

Santiago (Guillermo Francella) y Eugenio (Fabián Arenillas) son más que amigos: son socios de toda la vida en un negocio de electrodomésticos. Se entienden sin hablar, se complementan, se quieren, se necesitan. Pero un día, sin pistas ni huellas, Eugenio desaparece. Santiago tarda en advertir la ausencia y recién puede mensurar lo que pasó cuando Laura (Inés Estévez) -la mujer de Eugenio-, entre desesperada y herida, le asegura que se fue. Santiago y Laura empiezan el camino de la búsqueda y en el trayecto se dan cuenta de que no lo quieren encontrar. El misterio de la felicidad es una película de amor, pero va más allá: mueve límites, ahonda en los conceptos de fidelidad y traición y definitivamente pone por delante los sueños, antes que aquellos pactos vencidos.
