A man sits on a bed and plays a guitar in a Leningrad commune, Leningrad, 1977. The camera looks down towards the man who sits with crossed legs on a low bed. He sits off-center to the left while strumming a guitar that rests on his thigh. Some of his hair is pulled back; he doesn't wear a shirt. The bed linens are striped. Behind him, a plaid-patterned textile covers something that sits against a wall. Pieces of paper sit atop the plaid linen. Behind it, there is a window. Drawn portraits hang on the wall at left.
