Two American officials brief the press as a number of original manuscript files are displayed, with "Joulia" and the year 1911 written on them. Others display the year 1913. Journalists take down notes. The officials also display copies of newspaper articles which include a political cartoon above an article entitled "Entre Policiers." Another article is headlined " ENORME." A man breaks the seal of a wooden box labeled "HWL" number 5, as the two officials along with a girl stand next to him. They take out some files from the box and look at them. One of the official looks at some photographs, including one that appears to be of an individual involved with the manuscripts (perhaps the author)..The setting appears to be a university or archive.
