My Year on the Low-Carbon Diet

M, Documentary

John Webster sees a looming environmental catastrophe and convinces his wife and two small children that the whole family should go on an oil-free diet for one year. But is change really beyond the average family? Or can one indeed go without petroleum products in a world so addicted to its use? And do without cars, plastics... toothpaste. In short, make a heroic, stubborn effort to drastically reduce one's carbon footprint. Starting with the obvious - no car is just the tip of the iceberg. Can even a modern marriage survive such a remedy to the global crisis? In this comedy of errors they find themselves questioning their values and putting to the test their will power and ultimately, their happiness. From Finland, in English and Finnish.
