The United States. Today. A freight train crosses the landscape like a giant steel snake. To catch this train, you have to wait for nightfall so you're not seen. Because it's illegal.
I'm doing it to follow some hobos (vagabonds). They're women, on their own, and they've chosen a life of travel, with no particular destination in mind. Amid the noise of the iron horse, they adopt me as a travelling companion and tell their stories to my camera.
I try to grasp what their ultimate quest is. They're stronger than men, stronger than society. They are free.
