For years, his wife cheated on him every day with a lover under the text message codeword "Happy Hour" and then left him.
In order to rebuild the emotionally battered man, his two childhood friends, the stuffy and macho Wolfgang and the cynical know-it-all Nic, come up with the idea of taking him on a two-week trip to Ireland.
So the three mid-forties travel to the rainy Irish province to relive their youthful years with fishing trips, lots of Guinness and whiskey, undressed wood chopping and wild party nights in the pub and to make Hans-Christian feel that there is still life after the break-up.
[1] Happy Hour was made with financial support from the Filmförderungsanstalt (FFA), the Film- und Medienstiftung NRW, the Kuratorium junger deutscher Film and in cooperation with WDR and Arte Deutschland.
The film was shot from October 15, 2013 to November 27, 2013 in Skibbereen, County Cork and North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
