  1. The image shows a sombre family scene with two adults and two children sitting on a bed against a weathered wall, capturing the intimate and difficult circumstances portrayed in the film. One of the children is resting their head on their mother's lap. The warm, muted color palette and naturalistic setting are characteristic of the film's visual style.

  2. A woman in her forties dressed in 18th century clothing holds her hands out to the ceiling of the room she is standing in, her eyes lifted up to the heavens in ecastasy. Around her lots of men and women dance and flail around her, some of their images blurry. We see paintings and candelabras on the walls.

  3. The image shows a young woman in the foreground, dressed in a burgundy or rust-colored garment, with her hands clasped together in what appears to be prayer or anguish. She's positioned at what looks like a wooden barrier or railing, with a large crowd of period-dressed townspeople gathered behind her, all wearing earth-toned clothing and various head coverings typical of peasants and commoners from that era.
