1. The scene is set in the street. Three former employees, two men and a woman, are sitting cross-legged on the pavement and holding notices saying that they are out of work. They look hopeless and miserable.

2. These people are begging. In fact, we can see a cup, a bowl and a hat full of money in front of them. From the notices, we can guess that they have been given the sack because they or other people have posted personal, inappropriate or embarrassing content on Facebook. It seems they are now finding it very difficult to get a new job and are probably utterly destitute.
