Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, known as Osho, became an Indian spiritual guru in the 1960s. In the mid 70s, the members of his cult founded the Puna Ashram, a commune in India that soon attracted members from all over the world. Mostly, young adults pervaded by the hippie culture, taking their children along. But Osho had very clear ideas about them: "The idea that children belong to you is wrong. Children belong to themselves". What happened to the hearts and souls of those children, that following the guru’s precepts were left alone to take care of themselves? What have they become today? This is the starting point of a journey through their memories and stories.Cover image by Martino PietropoliMusic by Smokelab
