What happens
The Association of Joy er en kortfilm fra 2013 instrueret af Amanda Kernell efter manuskript af Amanda Kernell. Charlotte og hendes mand Mads lever et godt men ensomt overklasseliv uden børn. Et uddannelsesprojekt for thailandske piger bliver vejen ud af kedsomhed og ind i velgørenhedens glans for Charlotte, og teenageren Joy bliver flyttet fra Thailand til Danmark hvor hun installeres i overklasse villaen med pool. Men Joy er ikke interesseret i Charlottes omsorg eller uddannelsestilbud og gør det meget svært for Charlotte at være det gode menneske hun så inderligt gerne vil være. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
