Similar to the Amish, the Mennonites, an ultra-conservative Christian community, vehemently reject the trappings of modern society, choosing instead to embrace a life frozen in the 19th century. The majority of Mennonites reside in self-sufficient colonies, deliberately isolating themselves to shield against the temptations of the contemporary world. Now, breaking from their tradition of seclusion, one such community has granted access to our cameras.

Upon entering the colony of Little Belize in South America, it becomes evident that time has come to a standstill. Residents traverse the area in horse-drawn carriages, conversing in Plattdeutsch, an ancient German dialect. However, even within this seemingly untouched enclave, external influences are making inroads. Wilhelm, the former community doctor, faced expulsion for possessing a mobile phone, reflecting concerns about the encroachment of the outside world. Fearing contamination, traditional members like Abram and his family embark on establishing a new, even more secluded colony in the jungles of Peru, striving to uphold their original doctrines.

We accompany them on their exodus, providing an unprecedented glimpse into the enigmatic world of the Mennonites as they navigate the delicate balance between preserving their traditions and confronting the inevitable influences of the changing times.
