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 a human adventure. It is embodied by great universal figures who, through their diet, questioned humanity’s place in the world.
