  1. We see a younger Japanese man with auburn/reddish-brown hair and round glasses, wearing a black oversized shirt over a white top, holding what appears to be a Japanese newspaper. The setting looks like an outdoor urban area, with a chain link fence visible behind him.

  2. Two men and one woman sit on some luggage in the middle of a barren desert. Another older man stands next to them, his right hand on his hip. The sun beats down relentlessly as one of the sitting men stares at the ground in a forlorn manner.

  3. We see a Brazilian man in his 40s with a beard wearing a light blue short-sleeved shirt, leaning on a wall and standing outdoors in what looks like a rural or agricultural setting. There's a yellow vintage car beside him, and sugarcane fields are visible in the background under a partly cloudy sky.
