This documentary film follows Cleo, Anita, and their fifteen children as they pursue a lifelong dream of communal life in the countryside. After years of preparation, the family builds “Vila Barolo,” a self-made utopia where they live, work, and grow together. But when one daughter researches the family tree and uncovers their Jewish heritage, new dreams emerge. The children begin to imagine immigrating to Israel, threatening to unravel the family’s hard-won vision of unity and communal harmony.
