Een grote groep mensen staat in een warm verlichte ruimte, met liedteksten in de hand, en zingt samen; sommigen dragen een bril en de verlichting is gedempt met rode en blauwe tinten. A large group of people, standing in a warmly lit room, hold song sheets and sing together; some use glasses, and lighting is low with red and blue tones.
