Medium long shot of a woman in a robe looking at fabric on an older woman’s bare leg. Close up of the man with red vest drinking out of a glass with shelves behind him; he is balding.

Close up of a large beer bottle, small glass, ash tray, cigarette butts, and matches on a ledge. Back to the man in the red vest rubbing his face as he sits with his knees at his chest.
