Working as river guides for much of the 1970s, the director and his friends lived an unscheduled, communal, (often naked) outdoor life.

Moss' cinematic time line is drawn with the kind of candidness and honesty that only intimate knowledge allows. This is 'direct cinema' that transports you back in time as it showcases a generation that took its value-changing youth seriously. Despite growing up and having to adjust to societal norms, they are clearly still 'under the influence' of a river that flows through their lives. - Sundance Film Festival
