Bastard in Mind

Elias Gottstein and Carl Luis Zielke have no fixed abode, no education, no bank account, no securities. Instead, they are living their dream of freedom: radical, anarchic, unplugged! They are young, they are intelligent, they are hungry: for life, for music, for a future far removed from the bourgeois imaginary world. They also have an irrepressible optimism that they can shape this life themselves with and through their music. As Guaia Guaia, they travel from city to city on self-built bicycles, attracting fans and police officers with loud, illegal concerts.
