“I began with the window. Everything hinges on that corner of glass: the street comes into the room, the day is fading, and the raking light stretches across the parquet to the foot of the bar. The rest came afterwards — the couple still standing by the door, the woman in red leaning on the bar, the man in the hat with his cigarette, the young woman sitting alone at a table. Seven people in the same room, and not one glance meeting another. I do not know if it is sad. You can also be at peace in a place where no one asks anything of you. What I was looking for was the hour: that moment when you are no longer in your day and not yet in your evening. I kept the red for the dress and for the car, at either end of the window.”

— Le Yack

An American bar at the hour when the day is fading. Seven figures share the room without speaking: a couple near the entrance, a woman in a red dress at the bar, a man in a hat smoking, a young woman sitting alone at a table. Behind the corner window, the grey street and a red car. The raking light crosses the room and draws out the shadows on the ochre parquet.
