Fourteen-year-old Jeanne has lived in a farm commune since she was two years old. Her mother and father live in city communes and rarely visit. This is one of the commandments given by Otto, who rules the commune: children are to grow up without parents. Knowing nothing else, Jeanne enjoys her outdoor life, surrounded by lots of other children, until she falls in love with 16-year-old Jean and her childhood paradise begins to fall apart.
Anorexia is taking up more and more space in Jean’s life or as he would call it: the incredible feeling of absolute self-control. His parents don’t understand him and put him under increasing pressure. But when the brazen Lili enters his life and turns it upside down, he slowly starts to open up. She takes him on an adventure and encourages him to confront his problem.
