Mutonia is a village inside a village, a temporary town that changes over time, an experiment in residential living, an unstable community that mixes post-industrial imagery, recycling, and self-management. This little place was conceived with the same anarchic, irreverent and experimental spirit of the travellers and cyber punks who founded it. It became their hometown, a „motherland” to go back to periodically or even settle down in to raise their children. The place made of assembled pieces of junk and vehicles transformed into houses, now risks extinction because no urban development plan that could safeguard its uniqueness exists. The film was made at a delicate moment, when the city council had ordered the residents to dismantle the camp and return it to the way it was 23 years before.
