A Danish film essay about human evil and the motivations of mass murderers in war situations. A number of executioners divulge their bloody tales.

Freetown Christiania, also known as Christiania, is an intentional community and commune of about 850 to 1,000 residents, covering 7.7 hectares (19 acres) in the borough of Christianshavn in the Danish capital city of Copenhagen. Christiania has been a source of controversy since its creation in a squatted military area in 1971. Its cannabis trade was tolerated by authorities until 2004. Since then, relations between Christiania and Danish authorities have been strained.

In 1971, the Christiania refuge was created in Copenhagen. It became a boundless playground for the adults but perhaps not for the children who were left to themselves while their parents engaged in free sex and drugs.
