A secluded island somewhere on a seas of the Northern Europe. A family of four has lived here for over ten years, perfecting the art of survival. They had moved onto an island to escape a falling civilization, to live in freedom, close to nature. But, things can’t be solved by simply escaping the world, and problems arise when the Mother becomes pregnant again. Moreover, Winter is coming. It seems the only solution is in leaving the island, but this meets with stern dissent from the Father, who sees the place as the only safe haven on earth. Will the others find the courage to stand up to the Father? Can their family survive what comes next?

This beautifully-shot documentary exposes the global cost and consequences of the destruction of nature. Life-giving rivers have been especially badly hit. Shot on location in Canada, the Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland, Albania, and Poland, the film conveys a strong message about one of the greatest threats to human civilisation: the growing freshwater crisis.
