What does it mean to be a "hippie"?
In the road movie documentary "Be Hippie - Made in Poland", the two directors go in search of hippies in Poland and explore what makes a hippie who they are. The ideals and ideas of the hippie movement open up a hopeful and mindful perspective in view of the global environmental problems of our time. Until now, there has never been a film that has shed so much light on the multifaceted phenomenon of the hippie movement in neighboring Poland - from its beginnings in the late 1960s to the present day.

The film was shot in Lower Silesia and Upper Silesia, among other places.
