Before years when the author was a student, he was a hitch hiker. He crossed all around Bulgaria, but he found some difficulties to travel hitch hiking in Europe in that time. Now when Bulgaria is a member of the European Union it is easier for him to realize this idea. In this first epizode the author of the project has traveled in Bulgaria, Serbia, Hrvatska, Slovenia and Italy by hitch hiking and films all the drivers, who took him in their cars. He has made them video-interviews and photos. The people who the author have interviewed were be only drivers, who take hitchhikers in their cars. This is very specific field and it couldn't be an official image of thinking for the South European people, but it is interesting to know what this specific area thinks about that. For hin also is interesting, that he didn't make the choice of the people, who gave the interviews - the choice actually has been made by the drivers by taking him in their cars.
With this project Neno pays his tribute to hippie movement.
