When 800 young people occupied the abandoned barracks on Bådsmandstræde, Christiania was born – a bold experiment in freedom, community, and anarchist hippie culture, governed by consensus democracy. Tales from Christiania takes us on a wondrous journey through the past 50 years – from women’s fight to close Pusher Street to the community’s meetings, conflicts, and victories. With rare access to this world, the film reveals both humor, idealism, and hard realities. A quirky, moving, and honest story about embracing all ideas – and still preserving a place people want to belong to.
