Follows a young man who leaves his affluent life to join a wandering vegetarian cult. Led by a charismatic pilgrim, the group subsists by begging, often drawing local ire, like when they're arrested for stealing eggs. Paul and a fellow follower, Marianne, attempt to create a secluded paradise on a remote island.
