Two women face each other, one leaning forward into the other's face, her eyebrows raised with a questioning, almost intimidating look on her face.

Two men standing together, one looking over his shoulder with an anxious expression on his face.

Three people are in a set designed to look like an apartment. One of them, a woman, sits at the dining table with a knowing look on her face. The other two are standing as they talk, the man with his arms akimbo, and the woman pointing downwards with one hand.

Four men are on the street. Two of them seem as if they are being questioned by the other two, who are wearing suits. The two that are being questioned are looking at each other, one pointing at the other one, as the other one shrugs as if to say "I don't know."

A woman and a man sit on what looks like a sofa bed, both with concerned faces. The woman places her hands on the man's arm, as if to comfort him.
