As a child, John Robbins grew up in great luxury and with the certainty that he would one day inherit his father's billion-dollar company, the largest ice cream manufacturer in the world.
But as he grew up, John became more and more distanced from the life of a super-rich man. He became aware of the miserable conditions in which the animals that provided the milk for the company's products were kept, and how industrial agriculture also harmed people.
So he chose a life in harmony with the world and became an author and activist for a simpler life. What happened next surprised him, his father and the whole world.
"Love Over Money" shows that there is much more to life than money. The story of Robbins' career is a mixture of feature film and documentary, in which 77-year-old John Robbins himself appears.
