Director: Margit Lillak

Replicating the current trend of establishing self-sufficient communities, a small ecovillage, governed by its own rules, is established on the fringes of civilisation. Openness, communication and mutual sharing become the mantra of all those involved in the project and the central motifs of the film. These ethical principles, however, are gradually undermined by suspicion and love affairs that divide the community into two camps. For five years, director Margit Lillak has been following the therapy circles, emotional outbursts and wild dance sessions, and as an inconspicuous member of the community delves into the intricate relationships that gradually escalate up to the dramatic finale.
