Synopsis

„Happy Farmers“ is a short documentary film about Happy Farm, an organic vegetable farm in southern France. The farm is a part of a buddhistic monastery called Plum Village, established by Thich Nhat Hanh, a zen master originally from Vietnam. Lay people from the monastery started the farm in 2012, on a clay ground, but thanks to their dedication (and a lot of compost), the farm is flourishing every year more and more. But is the life in monastery a real life?
Film was shot in September 2016 by a small group of filmmakers from Czech Republic, now in crowdfunding campaign in order to raise funds for postproduction. The premiere is planned in spring 2018.
