Jeanne has lived in the commune on the farm since she was two years old. Her mother and father live in city communes and only rarely come to visit. This is one of the laws that Otto, the ruler of the commune, has decreed: children grow up without parents. 14-year-old Jeanne knows no other world, she enjoys her life in the company of many other children in the great outdoors.
Until she falls in love with 16-year-old Jean and her childhood paradise begins to crack. Because now she is violating 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 to Jeanne's room at night and touches her. But Jeanne rebels. And then the other children also rebel – against the adults and against Otto's authoritarian rule.
