I AM HERE

AEBI HUS

In the mid-seventies, six young idealists, dreamers and romantics are determined to rehabilitate heroin addicts at a time when that didn’t exist.  It was either a psych-ward or prison. 

They move into a former girl’s reformatory school in the countryside of Switzerland and call it Aebi-Hus. Their vision is an equitable, voluntary commune where everyone can live, work and heal together under one roof. But the reality is far more challenging.

As they deal with a hostile village population, they realize quickly that they are in over their heads as heroin addiction is a dominant and destructive force to be reckoned with. With no blueprint to follow and growing tension within the leadership, they have to pivot in order to succeed.
