The hippie community, comprised primarily of young adults originally from middle or upper middle class families, was borne out of a rebellion against establishment. One other binding force among the culture is universal marijuana use. There are smaller factions within the community that use other stronger illicit drugs, such as methedrine, heroin or LSD. There is a strong desire among hippies to share their experience within the community. Under the influence, many hippies express themselves artistically, such as through acid rock music. As hippie culture is almost seen as a religion, many hippies literally drift the globe, especially to holy cities, where they seek out like-minded travelers from other parts of the world, meeting in "underground" locales known only within the culture. Despite their drug use being illegal, many hippies counter that those in the establishment have their own, largely legal, substance uses and abuses - such as of alcohol and tobacco - which can be more dangerous than marijuana. Conversely, many in establishment view the counterculture as being an economic and moral drain on society, where, for example, the establishment has to provide medical and psychiatric assistance for those who want to "get clean" from their drug use. As such, there is a want by many in establishment to bridge the gap for a collective better society.

This documentary is the third in a trilogy about a group of Swedish nonconformists. The first documentary was shot in 1967, and followed a bunch of rebellious youths around. These kids had nothing but contempt for those who fit into the society around them, and they were experimenting with drugs, and partying pretty heavily. In particular, it tells the stories of two young men, Kenta and Stoffe. Then, in 1979, the documentarian returns to cover the two men's lives, and the lives of their friends. What had been a friendly, cheerful bunch is now deeply involved in petty crime and drug use. Indeed, one of the two men followed in the earlier film (Stoffe) dies of a drug overdose during the filming of the documentary. The filmmaker returned in the early '90s, to see what has become of Stoffe's family, his friends, and Kenta and his family and friends. Stoffe's wife refused to meet with the filmmaker, but indicated that his son had been adopted, and has become a mechanic, living in the countryside. Kenta remained a "rebel," and remains proud of that fact, but his children studied hard and are on the verge of more conventional success.
