ECOTOPIA

ABOUT THE MOVIE

They are a group of green environmentalists who are suffering from the chaos of city life and trying to escape from all this chaos; a handful of idealist greenists who are friends with nature and enemies of everything that harms nature.

Together, they set out to build a new village in a peaceful village in the Aegean where they can live as a commune.

The local villagers, who see that urban environmentalists have left those places and come to their own villages, are quite happy with the situation because they sold their dry fields and old houses to these idealist urbanites at a higher price.

However, the decision to build a thermal power plant in the region suddenly raises the environmentalists, who are the new residents of the village. While the villagers who have lost hope in agriculture are happy because new job opportunities will arise, the ecologists are completely against the power plant. The thermal power plant will create a rift between the two 'villages' and will be the scene of colorful days that will lead to mutual protests...
