Hippies sit together in a tight cluster while at a commune in Vitrupe, Latvia, 1978. A small group of hippies is viewed close-up as they sit on the ground. Only one individual is fully in frame. He sits, off-center and to the right. He is shirtless and faces the camera. His head is tilted downward as he digs through a small bag for something. He and the person to the left of him both wear peac symbols around their necks. In the foreground at left, a woman sits in profile with her arms wrapped around her knees. Another person appears to mirror her sitting position along the right edge. Another person squats down in the background at right. --Sorted in grouping "Уже Отскаt" (already returned).
