Allons souper! qu'est-ce qui en joue?

At a masked ball, a man as pierrot, one hand raised above his head, cries at the top of his lungs and holds at the same time pressed against his chest, a young woman, as a longshoreman, whom he lifts off the ground. She also joins in the shout, raising her hands in the air. In the background, a crowd of costumed people.
