Dans le nord-est de l'Alberta, les Huttérites ont établi une colonie couvrant une superficie de quelque sept milles carrés. Société intégralement communautaire, les Huttérites résistent aux attraits du monde extérieur. Devant le divertissement et la mode, un refus radical, inébranlable, une fin de non-recevoir. La communauté s'en tient au credo de son fondateur, Jacob Hutter. Produit en 1965, ce film décrit une petite société marginale qui survit toujours à l'épreuve du temps.
