Storyline
It must be a modern trend: this documentary is about a "failure story". If you were bored with success stories, then you'll love this movie. It will show you how to believe you understood everything about life, how to act on this belief, and how to fail while invoking a lot of good reasons to explain a posteriori why you failed. The premise of the project is sound: young people are fed up with urban life and want to settle on a beautiful island, rediscover an ancestral lifestyle and change the world. Great. But their quest is quixotic at best and nothing goes as expected. They were dreamers who suddenly realize (did they really? I wonder) that real life is not a fairy tale. It's easy to come as conquerers but it is difficult to actually conquer anything. If one removed the uninteresting life and shallow thoughts of these young dreamers, the remainging documentary would be worthwhile: the lovely old folks speak words of wisdom and one can feel their philosophy and their deep happiness. Unfortunately the remaining movie would be very short, a matter of minutes. But the biggest part of this documentary won't teach you anything: all in all, we all know how to be failures, don't we?
