At the back, a couple who unfortunately tolerate each other with difficulty; celebrate an anniversary accompanied by the music of a blind violinist.

On a corner, two poor people that have come in to beg, look at his mankind desperately alone. In the tavern, a woman is coming in looking for hope.

In the bar, there are an old man and a misanthrope sitting. The only ones to be free of all this are two young people that are outside the tavern, protected by the branches of a tree.

The usual waitress pries from the balcony.
