Synopsis

Have you ever dreamed of utopia inside our crisis-struck new world order?
This feature documentary road-movie tells about maverick people worldwide trying to realize their visions of a different world and society. Micronations. Neo-Communes. Self-Declared Kingdoms. Underground Temples. Swimming Cities. Paul Poet explores these counter-worlds in six episodes, looks on and behind their self-styled posture of little big statesmen subverting the common rule and portrays their struggles and motivations.
