A psychedelic travel in time to Estonia behind the Iron Curtain where, in spite of the grim Soviet reality, the hippie movement is growing. “System”, an informal group, is made by artists and musicians and all those who identify themselves with the new trend. After many years, the protagonists of the documentary reminisce about the musical and spiritual experiments in which they took part in the 1970s risking conflicts with the communist authorities.
