The film follows a group of thirty‑something men and women confronting the modest legacy of the so‑called revolutionary sixties. Max, a disillusioned copy editor; Myriam, a red‑haired into tantric sex; and Marie, a store clerk who discounts seniors, seek purpose on a communal farm. Their hope rests on the six‑year‑old Jonah, the title character.
