The true story of Container City

Raoul Schnug owns a beautiful 12-hectare plot of land, which the Oberschwihr town council wants to buy to set up a fashion mall.

Raoul cannot let this abomination take place. He decides to buy about twenty decommissioned containers from the port, and has them delivered to his land. This will be Container City: an experience of an eco-community, an "autonomous, self-managed and self-proclaimed commune".
