Polarization is on the rise, loneli ness is increasing, and it seems that more and more people are struggling.

The film brings together pioneers who are building new forms of community and care, and gives a platform to initiat ives that often fly under the radar, but are invaluable—not only for our m ental health, but also for our society.
