Poster
A man and woman are packing a black suitcase in a green-walled room, seen from a doorway.
A woman with short brown hair wearing a brown blouse, seated and holding a glass of iced tea with a straw, looking to her left in a room with large windows showing trees outside.
A woman in a red shirt and white shorts is opening a glass door to go outside at night. There are trees visible through the door and a chair inside near the door.
