Español: El regreso

Dos soldados con cascos militares están de pie en un interior destruido; uno sostiene un rifle en posición vertical mientras el otro observa desde la puerta. Una gran puerta astillada se inclina en diagonal sobre mochilas, un casco y escombros dispersos, en pastel y acuarela azul, verde oliva y ocre.
