Alicia (15) lives in a care home and longs for recognition. One day, a new resident sits at the dinner table. Alicia notices that this boy is quite attentive and somehow different. A flirtation begins, but then it turns out that Mika is not a boy at all, but her new roommate Michaela. Who I Am Happy is a short film about the desire for recognition of one's own decisions, no matter how crazy they sound, and about the courage to stand by them - against all odds.
