Long Live the Hobos

6.0(6)19951h 15m1

One day in 1930, José Américo Ghezzi ("Bepo")—an unemployed anarchist stonemason—leaves his hometown, not to return until 1955. For twenty-five years, he wanders with no direction other than the path of the railway tracks, joining the silent world of the "crotos"—itinerant laborers—where he meets "the Frenchman," a mentor who leaves an indelible mark on his life. Back home, his friends and a woman await him, weaving the fabric of their own lives. Sixty years later, facing the camera, he relives his romances and his worldview in a kind of collage of perspectives and dreams, centered on the fundamental question: "Is freedom possible?"
