Vegetarianism is often perceived as a contemporary phenomenon. However, it has a long and well-known history. From Indian Jains to hippies, from Roman philosophers to the first vegetarian society founded in London in 1847, this film offers an odyssey accross time and cultures. It is embodied by remarkable figures who, throughout history, used their diet to question humanity’s relationship with the living world.
