For them, it could go on and on with endless consensus discussions, shearing sheep and naked communal bathing. One day, the lowland communards are joined by two city dwellers, Hanne and her son Niels.

Exactly on the day Bobby Ewing dies, the petroleum prince from "Dallas" and series favorite of the commune.
