Street scene with several buildings: In the background, a tall rectangular hotel building with many uniform windows and a sign reading “Hotel Berolina” on the roof. In front of it is a wide, low building with large window fronts and a movie poster on the facade. On the right side of the image, a modern building with large glass fronts and signage on the roof is visible. People are walking across the plaza, and some cars are parked or driving in the background. The sky is clear and blue.
