Hutterites believe popular entertainment threatens the morality of youth. Education, religion and work are central to the Hutterite way of life. These priorities are kept intact by a clear separation of the community from the outside world.

The followers of Jacob Hutter live in farm communities, devoutly holding to the rules their founder laid down. Through the kindness of a Hutterite colony in Alberta, this film, in black and white, was made inside the community and shows all aspects of the Hutterites' daily life.
