A documentary portrait of an unconventional family's radical experiment in alternative living, balancing admiration for their freedom and philosophy with the tensions and costs of such an extreme lifestyle.

The inspiring and tumultuous story of 85-year old surfer, health advocate and sex guru, Dr. Dorian "Doc" Paskowitz, his wife Juliette, and their nine children who were all home-schooled and raised in a small camper on the beach, where they surfed and had to adhere to the strict diet and lifestyle of animals in the wild.
