THE CHILDREN OF THE COMMUNE

Synopsis

In the commune of Viennese action-artist Otto Muehl, children should remain 'unspoilt from the nuclear family' and be brought up to become completely new human beings. Common sexuality, common property and the abolition of parents-children relationships were the basic elements of a social experiment which turned into a totalitarian system. Through the eyes of former children of the commune and combined with extraordinary exclusiv footage from its archives the film takes us into a world of utopia and abuse.
