1980s, Paris. A group of young ecologists want to show that another world is possible.
Guided by a mysterious Amerindian shaman, they practice veganism,
set up organic stores and live in teepees in the middle of apartment blocks.
Accused by their families and the press of being manipulated, they set off on a long ecological march across Europe.

After 10 years of wandering, the “Tribe” finally settled in Finland, in extreme conditions, to live
out their utopia of a life in harmony with nature. How far are its followers prepared to go to save “Gaïaland”?
