The film portrays a group of outsiders by choice who live in ruins of a deserted factory. Each one of them understands freedom differently. Nevertheless, together they form a solid community which functions according to its own set of rules and regulations. Despite the poor living conditions, they are happy. Some who moved out of the factory say that living there was the best time of their lives.
