Three people sit at a long table covered in a red and orange checked cloth: a young man in a white shirt and red shawl on the left, a bearded man in a white t-shirt with a red shawl in the centre holding a utensil, and a woman in white with a red shawl and dark hair tied back on the right. Each has a compartmentalised plastic tray of food, with a bouquet of pink and white roses and purple flowers in a vase at the centre. Behind them, several people in white clothes and red or orange shawls stand or walk, and a bald person in orange robes sits further back.
