Several hippies cross a street in Moscow, 1978. They cross in two clusters. The group nearest to camera walks in row. The person at center wears a light-colored sweater and has their back turned to the camera. To the left of them, Guru walks with his back to camera. Along the right edge, Tolya Picasso walks with his back to camera, but turns his head to look back to the camera. The rest of the group walks ahead of them in the mid-ground at center; they all walk with their backs to camera as they approach a street to cross. A building rises on the other side of the street at left. Propaganda decorates the building's wall. Either a wide boulevard or a square opens up in the background at right.
