Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, known as Osho, became an Indian spiritual
guru in the 1960s. In the mid 70s, the members of his cult founded
the Puna Ashram, a commune in India that soon attracted members
from all over the world. Mostly, young adults pervaded by the
hippie culture, taking their children along. But Osho had very
clear ideas about them: "The idea that children belong to you is
wrong. Children belong to themselves". What happened to the hearts
and souls of those children, that following the guru’s precepts
were left alone to take care of themselves? What have they become
today? This is the starting point of a journey through their
memories and stories.Cover image by Martino PietropoliMusic by
