«Without Arcady, we would have died sooner or later, because the anguish exceeded our capacity to experience it. He offered us a miraculous alternative to illness, madness and suicide. He sheltered us. He told us: ‘Do not be afraid.’
Farah lives with her parents and grandmother in the libertarian community of Arcadie, Liberty House. With all the serious and comic characteristics of a cult, Arcadia is led by its founder Arcady, a prophet of love with a wide sexual appetite. Farah spent a rather happy childhood here. She enjoyed the pristine green countryside surrounding the isolated estate. But then came adolescence, with all its questions. And the urge to rebel.
