À Dubrovnik, en Croatie, Mare vit à côté de l’aéroport où son mari travaille, mais n'a jamais pris l’avion. Prisonnière de tâches domestiques, cette mère de trois enfants rêve en secret d'une autre vie, et contre la volonté de son époux, voudrait retrouver son emploi. Lorsque Piotr, un séduisant chef de chantier polonais, emménage près de chez eux, Mare voit en lui la promesse d'une liberté à laquelle elle aspire sans savoir où la chercher.

My father only used a camera once in his life. Thirty years later, he asked me to digitise the material he had filmed. I was wondering what he remembers. Created from an impulse to rethink and rewatch personal archive footage, the film explores memory and its relation to documentation and non-institutional archive practices. Connecting politics with intimate spaces, the documentary questions both the influence of war on private archives and the role of gardens as places of new begginings.

In the interior of the island of Brač, a group of women lives in an unusual off grid community. They do not believe in private property or hierarchy, they manage the community by direct democracy, share the land, they grow and forge plants trying to be autonomous as much as they can. They are plagued by drought, lack of water and resources, as well as climatic changes. Each of the members of the community has escaped from a past life and together they are trying to build their own small self-sustaining oasis. But when the question of registering ownership in the land register is raised, the very survival of the community comes into question.
