A group of 8-year-olds invent the shared fantasy world of George-Peterland – a dreamy forest land ruled over by the chicken god.

In a primary school in Sweden, a group of 8-year-olds invent their own shared fantasy world. In the world of ‘George-Peterland’ it is the Chicken God who makes the rules. ‘You shall not eat chicken nuggets!’, ‘You must love the colour yellow!’, ‘You must speak in George-Peter language!’ As this fantasy land increasingly seeps into the children’s daily lives, the adult world searches for its own rules to control this new craze and to seize power back from the Chicken God.
