A surreal scene in a room with exposed walls and wooden floors, featuring three figures with distorted, wrapped faces resembling mummies. One figure stands upright in a blue shirt and khaki pants, another sits in a red shirt and black pants, and the third lies on the ground in a blue and white checkered shirt. A bright lamp on a stand illuminates the scene, casting shadows on the walls.
