In 1970 a group of illegal squatters broke into an abandoned military base in the center of Copenhagen. They found vast swathes of forested land, huge vacant buildings and a small lake. An article appeared in a street magazine suggesting that the vacant land and buildings be used by Copenhagen's homeless and struggling. As a result massive immigration to the vacant land occurred. People from all sections of society came to create an alternative life based on personal freedom and the rejection of the Danish government's authority. This was the birth of Freetown Christiania. Twenty-five years later, Eugine is hitch-hiking the freeways of northern Europe. Through a chance encounter he finds himself delivered into Christiania and a world of Anarchy he thought could never exist. From facing the barrel of a Hell's Angel's shot gun, to Pusher Street's hash market, the collectivisation of the Moonfisher cafe, full frontal nakedness at the Bath House, a street battle between the police and Christiania's Clown Army and a seductive older woman living in the Cosmic Flower; through Eugine we get to experience the day to day life living in Anarchy.
