In The Long Road to Happiness, we follow Thomas, a man driven by dreams of a better life who risks everything in a desperate attempt to escape his past. In pursuit of freedom, he leaves behind his family and his homeland, only to find himself ensnared in hardship, loss, and the painful realities of his choices. After years spent in prison and exile, Thomas returns to Baku, the city he once dreamed of leaving. Now older and wiser, he is no longer searching for happiness in distant lands but in the connections he once took for granted.

Through his journey, Thomas comes to understand that true contentment lies not in grand ambitions but in the love of family, community, and the simple, enduring beauty of his homeland. In rediscovering his roots, he finds redemption, forgiveness, and a peace he had long sought. The Long Road to Happiness is a powerful exploration of resilience, the strength to forgive oneself, and the profound joy of finding one’s way home.
