Aprašymas

A young couple named Sonia and Gary Carter participate in anti-war demonstrations in Chicago's Grant Park during the summer of 1968, and are caught in a police riot. They are tear-gassed, Gary is beaten and Sonia is dragged down a sidewalk by her hair. Separately, each makes a life-altering decision: she, to become a pacifist and move to the country, and he to become a revolutionary and join the Weathermen Underground. Together, Sonia and Gary drop out of urban life and begin a homestead in Vermont. Gary hides fugitives for the Weathermen, frees Timothy Leary from prison and sets off bombs. Sonia plants a vegetable garden, meets a hippie news herald, a sinister snowplow operator, a mad donkey breeder, and a sadistic goat. She falls in love with a poet-carpenter who is helping them build their house and struggles with the decision of whether to leave a marriage that is crumbling. Idealism versus anarchy, utopianism verses establishmentarianism, and commitment verses love, are a few of the issues Sonia and Gary work their way through during the end of the tumultuous and creative sixties.
