This documentary closely follows the eco-village Cabrum, a recent community in northern Portugal; Cooperativa Integral Catalana, in Barcelona, which practices self-management with its own coins, the Eco; and finally, the self-sustaining community Tamera also in Portugal. The Tamera has been in existence for 20 years. All these communities are searching for solutions to global problems, acting locally and wondering if they can't turn the current paradigms obsolete.
