Synopsis

A few miles away from the war zones lies the village of Nijné Sélitché and its network of farms.

Here, in Ukrainian Transcarpathia, the long-lasting utopia of Longo Maï is faced with chaos. Since the 1970s, the movement has built an archipelago of self-managed and agricultural communities that defend sustainable farming against the agro-industry.

However, since the beginning of the war, the community has had to deal with the emergency of the conflict. How do those who have chosen to live in this utopia cope with the situation?
