Twenty-five years ago, Petr used to be an urban man studying computer science. Then he met Simona, and they decided to pursue their dream of freedom together. Choosing a traditional lifestyle of self-sufficiency, love and togetherness, the couple lead a frugal, bohemian life in a self-made house in a meadow in the Bohemian Forest, with the bare essentials – and their nine children. Can fatherly love become suffocating for the children? Rejecting a conventional life style means sacrifices for the whole family. Will they be able to fit in with modern society?
