The scene is a medium shot of a river, probably the Seine in Paris, with a group of people sitting along the riverbank. The water is a shimmering blue-green, reflecting the sunlight. A small, wooden motorboat with several passengers is moving along the river, leaving a white wake behind it. In the background, across the river, are buildings, trees, and several other boats of varying sizes. People are sitting on the bank enjoying the sunny day. One person is walking along the bank. The lighting suggests it is late afternoon or early evening.
