  1. A young Iraqi girl in a school uniform — white blouse and dark pinafore — carries a large rooster in her arms while facing an older seated man wearing a kufi cap and glasses. They appear to be in conversation inside a covered market or bazaar, with goods and food items visible on tables behind the man.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
