A middle-aged party at a new villa, with six old friends and one surprise guest, Nicke, Satu's new boyfriend. The film depicts one day from afternoon to night. During the evening, it becomes clear that most of the friends are having difficult times in their lives and have to hold back their emotions.

The art project launches a citizen initiative for the granting of subjective rights to sacred places and nature, and addresses the topic by making a film – intertwining film and activism. Our goal is to spark discussion and cause a land-legal movement. The film mixes documentary and fictionality into a common form, a utopia and a discourse that must be held. Thematically, the film highlights the meanings and questions of the sacred, agency and power. The perspective of subjective rights to nature challenges the dominant development discourse.
