A film director, disillusioned with the state of the world, decides to intervene in life itself by making a movie. He mortgages his family’s land and country house - not because his goal is to shoot a film, but to create a brand‐new model of production and, above all, a new ethics of creation. He publishes an impassioned manifesto calling on young people to join him, and soon the country house overflows with hopeful applicants who, inspired by his words, seek not just a job but the thrilling adventure of filmmaking and a chance at a new life.
