Anna and Erik turn their home into a social oasis where private property is inexistent - they invite five people to live together, with equal rights and obligations. The initially harmonious universe starts withering when Erik falls for the much younger Emma and wants her to join the commune. How will the relations inside the commune be reconfigured? What possitions will the other memebrs assume? Who will be forced to leave?

„The benefits of living together in a commune are numerous and we acutely miss them nowadays, when we live alienated, yet we cannot neglect the disadvantages - interpersonal relations, especially family relations, are redefined and the results can be unpredictible and often traumatizing. From that point of view, The Commune is a good stimulus for reflection about family problems in the 21st century and today's society crisis." (Radu-Alexandru Nica)
