Two children, a boy and a girl, stand side-by-side with their hands painted blue and yellow, smiling and holding their hands up toward the camera against a colorful wall. The scene cuts to a close-up of fingers plucking the strings of a stringed instrument, then to a black screen, followed by a group of armed men in camouflage and balaclavas sitting in a vehicle, and finally to a wide shot of a long, empty road under a cloudy sky.
