Crotos Libres

Directed by Magalí Flaks

It's a summer day in 1983 in Mar del Plata. A group of men and women walk slowly through the grasslands beside the train tracks, forming the Agrupación Crotos Libres (Free Hobos). With anarchist roots, the hobos advocate a life without a fixed abode, free from material attachments, in defense of leisure and working-class solidarity. Since then, their "non-profit" walks have been their main activity. Pedro, one of the last remaining hobos, recounts their history through his amateur VHS footage.
