A projection screen in a dark hall shows a flat, animated-style scene on a pale background: a standing figure with dark hair and a bare torso in an orange-brown wrap, facing a second figure in an orange robe with a white headband who leans forward and extends one hand toward the first. The screen is framed by black drapery, and the only other visible element is a small logo in the upper-left corner and a copyright line in the lower-right corner.
