Gina Lombardi is leaving the comfort of the city to look for slow happiness, which is nowadays associated with the countryside. She meets a house, Type EW58/08, and its utopian designer. This empty GDR-house migrates from a east German village to the dutch new town Almere. If Gina moves in, she is confronted with the demands of the house. A chicken shed in he garden for free range eggs, a cherry-tree with infusion in the kitchen. The harvest she is selling from the inside of her survival-jacket in an Amsterdam office area. An exiting struggle between contemporary city life and a hypermodern country lifestyle.
