In the commune of the Viennese activism-artist Otto Muehl, the children should remain 'unspoilt from the nuclear family' in order to develop into completely-new human beings. Setting out as a free collective in the early 1970s, the social experiment emerged as a totalitarian system which, 20 years later, ended as a dramatic failure. Through the eyes of these children, the film looks back at the community and examines what has become of the children of this utopia.
