SYNOPSIS: Andrea Hejlskov was certain of one thing: life could not continue as it was. She and her husband had become disillusioned with their jobs and the pressures of urban living, their four children were spending too much time in their bedrooms with their computers, and conversations had become as elusive as their connection to a meaningful existence. On a quest to find out what really counts, they made a bold move: they sold their house and parted with most of their belongings. In the year that followed, the family built a cabin deep in the wilds of Sweden, measuring their impact on a world desperately in need of change. What was meant to be a one-year experiment became a six-year journey that fundamentally changed everything in their lives.
