In the interior of the island, a group of women coming from different ex-Yugoslavia countries live in an unusual community trying to create safe space for them and for generations to come. The islanders call them Witches of Brač. They do not believe in private property or hierarchy, and manage the community by direct democracy. They share the land and together try to build their own small self-sustaining oasis. Interpersonal relations and challenges brought by coexistence in nature, bring the survival of the community into question.
