Two individuals sit outside on a log in front of a tent while attending a commune in Solnechnoye, 1977. The camera looks down towards the 2 men sitting. The leftmost man sits at center. He sits with his legs in a wide stance and faces towards the camera. His upper body is hunched foward; he rests his elbows on his thighs. He holds a long object to his mouth with one hand. To the right of him, another man sits, facing camera, with his eyes closed. A large piece of fabric is draped around his body. They both sit on a log that enters frame from the lower right corner and extends back towards center. A tin can sits on the ground in front of and between the 2 men. Behind them at right, a tent is pitched. More logs are strewn across the ground at left. Trees stand in the background.
