A woman sits on the floor on a mat, holding an infant in her lap. She faces a window with partially drawn curtains. The room is dark, lit only by a lantern in the corner and dim light from the window. Poster suggests the mother's moment of realization that, not only is she infected, she has also passed the virus on to her infant.
