    • Looking for an economical model, dreaming of fruits, wine or film, Lussas’ residents, a small village in Ardèche, are the actors of a high-speed pursuit. This is about living according to your own principles in a very contemporary world which combines globalization, the internet and sustainable development. In Lussas, people are creating a TV channel, studying and producing, screening documentary films, cultivating fruits, making wine, all the things we love and wish to keep doing in the best way… Will that be possible?
