Španska čizma

Two young Yugoslavs, not quite a couple, spend a summer at the end of the 1970s in an Austrian New Age eco-commune, looking for true freedom. The enthusiasm soon fades: paradise takes work, free love turns out to be possessive, and wholesome food has to be earned. After a series of comic misadventures the narrator goes home and back to ordinary life, until a boy called Og turns up at his door, the son of a woman he has not seen since the commune.
