A group of eight individuals sits outside a tent in a forest clearing while at a commune in Vitrupe, Latvia, 1977. In the foreground at left, a man lies on his side and scoops food from a canister while holding a cigarette in his hand. His body faces towards camera, but he glances down. Behind him, the majority of the group sits in a semi-circle. Three individuals behind him sit facing towards the camera. At right, 3 people sit in a row, all face towards the left. Another person kneels down behind one of the people facing towards the left, appearing to inspect the hair of the individual sitting in front of him. Behind the group, a tent is pitched at the clearing's edge.
