Deep, funny and provocative story of a girl who escaped a hippy eco-commune as a child and became a cosmopolitan citizen. Who will save the planet if not the last generation?

When she was 8, her family moved to an eco-village. Her mother Liina was the frontwoman of the commune. Roosi hated her childhood there. Now, eight years later, Roosi is stepping in the footprints of her mom. Her intelligence and vocalness are rare for her age, expressing raw truths for the whole Z generation. 

We see the archetypal conflict in a mother and daughter relationship, what makes it unusual is her special heritage, I have the archival footage from the past – that helps us understand the present future life choices of the protagonist. Moving through the bottleneck of adolescence the film is full of humor and irony. Comic situations between adolescence and parents.

The arch of the film is her tense relationship with her parents and finding her place in this world.
