"We wanted to show that nudity is the baseline," says the director. "Once the shock wears off (and it wears off fast), you stop seeing skin. You see connection. You see the father teaching the son how to drive the tractor. You see the mother laughing with the neighbor about the price of eggs. That is the freedom." A frequent concern regarding family nudism is the safety and psychological impact on children. The film handles this head-on, with an exclusive interview from child psychologist Dr. Simone Armitage, who appears as a consultant in the movie.
The film follows three families over a summer season at "La Prairie Soleil," a 200-acre nudist resort and working farm in the French countryside. Here, naturist freedom isn't just tolerated—it is essential. The absence of clothing means no laundry detergents polluting the well water.

There is no titillation; there is only purpose. The mother brushes a strand of hair from her face. The father checks the tractor’s oil. The children chase a grasshopper. The film handles this head-on, with an exclusive
What makes this exclusive is the cinematography. Director Van der Berg uses long, wide shots rather than close-ups. You see the family as part of the landscape—figures moving through mist, indistinguishable from the trees or the rising sun.
