A group of 4 hippies sit in a forest while at the Vitno commune in Estonia, 1977. At left, a shirtless man sits on the ground with his legs crossed in front of him. Next to him at center, a man strums an acoustic guitar while a cigarette hangs out the side of his mouth. He sits on a plank of wood and rests his feet on a bench in the foreground. Along the right edge, a man, wearing a shirt with a chevron pattern, sits with his back to camera. Immediately behind him, another man sits in profile, facing right. He wears a headband and appears to either be writing or drawing. Foliage occupies the background.
