What happens

Hey, Happy! is a Canadian science fiction comedy film, directed by Noam Gonick and released in 2001. Set in a countercultural squatter camp on the outskirts of Winnipeg, the film stars Jérémie Yuen as Sabu, a bisexual rave disc jockey on a quest to have sex with 2,000 men before the imminent apocalyptic flood of the Red River. After successfully bedding 1,999 men, he sets his sights on Happy (Craig Aftanis) as his final conquest, only to be drawn into a love triangle with rival Spanky (Lexi Tronic, credited as Clayton Godson). The film premiered at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival. It had its Canadian premiere at the Inside Out Film and Video Festival, where it won the award for Best Canadian Film. In its subsequent Canadian theatrical release, it was screened with Guy Maddin's short film The Heart of the World. In 2023, Telefilm Canada announced that the film was one of 23 titles that will be digitally restored under its new Canadian Cinema Reignited program to preserve classic Canadian films.
