ALL THE WAY AROUND

A woman with blonde hair stands with her head bowed and eyes closed, facing a plain white wall. A musician with dark hair, facing away from the camera, plays an acoustic guitar and holds a large upright bass. The scene appears to take place on a stage with wooden flooring, and the lighting suggests a calm, intimate setting.
