Exploring the tension between order and freedom, the narrative centers on Reverend Harmston's ambitious attempt to create a balanced microsociety in the Guyanese forest. His commune, guided by the principles of hard work, love, and play, aims to foster dialogue between European enlightenment and native Amerindian culture. However, beneath its comedic facade lies a darker reality marked by Harmston's authoritarian rule and harsh punishments, foreshadowing the tragic events of the Jonestown Massacre that would occur decades later.
