Behind, a woman in white ritual dress touches the arm of a boy in a white shirt, and other people in white and cream clothing stand in a room with red curtains and a floor fan.

The figure holds out a banana to a kneeling young man in a white checked shirt with an orange lanyard, who is at lower right.
