The towns and villages along the Peruvian section of the Amazon can’t be reached by road. If you can’t afford to take the plane, you travel by cargo boat on the river for days. As a means of transport, the boats are part of an important infrastructure: While the steamships of the “rubber barons” used to travel this route during the brutal rubber boom, cargo boats now bring goods to the communities on the edge of the rain forest.
The observations of the Peruvian brothers Álvaro and Diego Sarmiento and the anthropologist Terje Toomistu are focused entirely on the occurrences on the boat: loading and unloading sugar, chickens, onions, lemonade and building material, the crew, the passengers travelling hammock to hammock on deck, and the people waiting on the banks of the river. The camera never glorifies either the landscape or the work; instead it is always in the midst of things, sometimes even in the way. The journey downstream is accompanied by tales of sinking ships, swimming animals and newfound faith. Observed with such reserve, a lot can still be inferred: about the tough jobs of the dockers, the lives of the women and children who come aboard to sell food, about the influence of the “Israelitas” and how important trading by boat is for the indigenous population of the tributaries.

西方風靡成千上萬年輕人的嬉皮運動對鐵幕的另一端產生了深遠的影響。在蘇聯體系內，一群由藝術家，音樂家，怪胎，流浪者和其他長髮輟學生所組成的群體創建了自己的體系，將那些信仰和平，愛與自由的人聚集在一起。
40多年後，一群來自愛沙尼亞的古怪嬉皮前往莫斯科旅行。在那裡，每年6月1日嬉皮們仍聚在一起，緬懷在1971年所發生的悲慘事件；當時數千名嬉皮被蘇聯情報局（KGB）逮補。這趟穿越時空的旅程深入迷幻的地下世界，這些人仍在那裡為自由奮鬥。
