Postmodernism meets punk in an authentic, over-the-top story of a power struggle between a cult guru and a rebellious girl.
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. In doing so, she violates Otto’s greatest commandment: “Sex is allowed, but love is forbidden.” Jeanne rebels against this.
