Call your pal for directions.

They have no cell phones.

Oh, okay...

But reassure me they have clothes.

Margaux, no iPad.

Look at the scenery, the sheep...

the stuff.

What the hell is this?

Damn...

Your pal teaches yoga

to which SWAT division?

What a pain.

Excuse me?

Is this your gray SUV?

- What?

- The gray SUV. Is it yours?

A rental. Why?

How funny!

A while back, I had a black SUV.

Okay. That's pretty funny.

Thanks.

Have a nice day.

Come, honey.

Weird activist humor.

Welcome, friends!

Hello. We came to see Jean-Paul.

I know.

I see you have electronic devices.

Some people here are electro-sensitive.

You must leave them.

- What?

- Cell phones. Leave them.

But with me.

I'll put it on flight mode.

They emit waves, even off.

It was proved.

- It's only 3 days.

- During the French Open!

- Honey, you don't need it.

- I do!

Margaux, stop!

Help me!

Margaux, stop. Hand it over!

Let go of it!

F***!

F***!

- Excuse me, sorry.

- Kids...

Give me a kiss.

Margaux, a kiss or I'll get mad.

Follow me.

- Sh*t!

- What?

I totally forgot my djembe.

What a dummy.

Margaux, I'm sorry. Forgive me.

' She's - Shut up!

Jean-Paul is over there...

No way!

Jeanne!

Jean-Paul!

Jeanne!

- So happy to see you.

- Me too.

What a beauty!

It's been so long. 8 years?

- You haven't changed.

- You neither.

- What did you do to your hair?

- Nothing, apparently.

- This is Victor.

- Jean-Paul.

Unusual out, not bad.

I'm Jeanne's former yogi.

I know.

And this is Margaux.

Hi, Margaux. I'm Jean-Paul.

You'll love it here, lots of kids!

Well, a few.

- How beautiful.

- We're lucky. Nice location.

Welcome, first of all.

Want a tour of the property?

Though we don't believe

in ownership.

All right... go ahead and I'll...

Want me to come?

Yes.

I have the bags... Is it long?

No one gives a f***?

We're organized by activity zones.

There's the workshop...

ACT I:

"best tomatoes in the region."

Mobilization to defend the zone

began 6 months ago.

Now we're self-sufficient

thanks to permaculture.

Best tomatoes in the region!

Besides defending the zone,

we aim to live differently.

That's the thing.

Meals are prepared

in the community kitchen.

Okay-

Relaxation area.

We have a canteen too.

Our clothing workshop

supplies us with our outfits.

- Margaux, you have a friend.

- Great!

What's his name?

The child.

The child...

First name?

No first name?

I didn't stick a label on him at birth.

A first name

is your first classification.

He'll choose his name.

He doesn't belong to me.

We all meet our names

if we stay attuned

and open-minded.

Did you meet your name?

I'm Gaya.

Me?

I'm Potato.

I met my name in a diner...

He's Victor, and I'm Jeanne.

Jeanne... welcome.

- It's mine. Hands off!

- Let him.

- She said "it's mine."

- Forget it.

What?

We avoid the notion of ownership.

It's important for us.

Rule number 1.

Okay, fine.

I want my iPad!

Honey, it's impossible.

I said I want it!

She's exhausted.

Stop!

I swear...

- Isn't it nice here?

- You bet.

- Just like at home.

- You bet.

You clone?

We said 15 minutes. It's been 5.

Thanks.

He's a bit of a pain.

You bet.

Sit.

We're a mix.

I grew up in a very conservative family.

Catholic.

Simon was in real estate.

He had a burnout.

He found himself here.

Hey there, Simon. You okay?

They called Dylan a delinquent

in Babylon.

He found his place here.

Krishnamurti says it's unhealthy

fitting into a sick society.

Your husband's cute.

Here are the showers.

Water straight from the river.

A bit cold, but tolerable.

The sign is a joke.

They want a water park here.

In the region's only wetland!

It's why we're mobilizing.

We wrote "Aqua Park" ironically

to show them

we have a sense of humor too.

Aqua Park!

I get it now.

They wanted a waterpark

so the thing for the showers

is a joke about water.

How clever!

Not bad!

- I found it.

- You really nailed it!

Aqua Park! Right over the shower!

- Good idea.

- It just hit me.

They're charging!

Animals!

You shot her in the back!

A**holes!

Motherfuckers!

Resistance!

Resistance!

They're charging!

You have no right!

Read the statutes, dammit!

We're non-violent, dickwad!

Know why we're doing this?

For you and your kids!

Bastards!

No hate... Never show hate.

Resistance!

Forever!

Revolution!

I'm on your side, dammit!

We can change their mind on the size

and on water management.

We can propose

in a constructive mindset.

Constructive?

More like a compromised mindset.

Let's at least hear him out.

Send a delegate

to the township board tomorrow.

We're not part of the system.

We won't give in like you.

To refuse is to exist.

- I'm the system?

- The guy behind you.

- Yes, you!

- I started years ago.

I met Michael Moore...

Met him?

So come screw my sister.

Good news.

People who know Moore

can be capitalists.

Murderer! Bastard!

Hang the Green Party from trees!

Piece of sh*t!

Beat it, clown!

Keep smoking joints

in your tents

and you'll save the world.

Get lost!

Margaux!

I don't believe it.

Margaux! I've been...

- Hello.

- Hi!

All Well?

- I was looking for you.

- She's yours?

So cute!

How old?

- How old do I look?

- No, her.

Sorry... uh... 6.

Dad, I turned 7.

Only recently.

Since January!

And how old are you?

I'm 16.

I know, I look older.

People think I'm 19.

19, 20...

Not too young to be an activist?

I'm no squatter.

I'm just on vacation

for 2 weeks with my dad.

Okay-

- Who's your dad?

- Jean-Paul, the hobo head.

That's so funny.

He taught yoga to my...

to a...

Can you do me a little favor?

Well... yes!

Great... Can you get me some oil

and put it on me?

On my body.

In front of the kid?

Yeah, sure... some suntan oil.

Sure.

No, it's in the kitchen.

Go to the kitchen,

get it and oil me up.

Go on. I'll wait.

Sorry, I was distracted.

- You're staying for sure?

- I won't budge.

Later!

Your dad's crazy.

It was so close...

What are you doing, honey?

Don't film.

Give it to me.

Give me that. Go see Mom up there.

Go see Mommy. She's so cute.

Maeva, I told you 100 times.

That oil is for cooking.

You don't tan with food.

It was dumb to throw all our tomatoes.

Mozzarella alone is...

Let go of that!

Give it back. Let go.

Come! Give it back!

Come here!

- What?

- I doubt it.

- What?

- I doubt that's how to talk to dogs.

He took my chicken!

No, he didn't.

He helped himself to chicken.

It's not our job to train them,

but theirs to train us.

If someone is at home here,

it's not us. It's them.

Or us? So?

What?

They arrived on Earth before us.

They were here from the start, right?

True.

So maybe ask him permission

to eat with him.

I doubt he'll answer.

Without training, he'll become wild.

He'll do as he pleases, bite.

You class "wild"

in the "Not Good" folder?

No, in the "Wild" folder.

Just in the "Wild" folder.

Welcome to the women's circle.

Today we'll discuss a method

to avoid sanitary pads
