In the commune of the Viennese actionism-artist Otto Mühl the children should remain "unspoilt from the nuclear family", in order to be brought up to a completely new human being. Setting out as a free collective in the early 1970s, soon the Austrian social experiment emerged as a totalitarian system, which, 20 years later, ended in a dramatic failure: Otto Mühl was arrested for sexual abuse of children, the commune was closed.
Through the eyes of these children, the film DIE KINDER VOM FRIEDRICHSHOF looks back at the community and examines what has become of the children of this utopia.
