Jeanne has lived in the commune on the farm since she was two years old. Her parents live in city communes and rarely visit – just one of the commune’s rules installed by Otto, the ruler of the commune: Children grow up without parents. 14-year-old Jeanne knows no other world, she enjoys her life surrounded by many other children in the great outdoors – until she falls in love with 16-year-old Jean and her childhood paradise starts to crack. Ultimately, she violates Otto’s supreme law: “Sex is allowed, but love is forbidden”. Otto banishes Jean to the city commune. And then there is Otto’s unspoken privilege: he comes into Jeanne’s room at night and touches her. But Jeanne rebels. And then the other children rebel too – against the adults and against Otto’s authoritarian rule.
