Obviously the man on the right is depressed and a bit drunk. He is staring at a reflection in the water at his feet. It is of a half dressed woman combing her hair in the window of the 2nd floor apartment across the street. Her inverted image has started him thinking of his youth in Amsterdam as a photographer's assistant lugging a view camera to the more notorious districts of the city. Little did he know then, he would become a serious Leica addict, spending his meager pension on folding lens hoods for ancient elmarits and eating his cat's food. The people to the left are laughing, sharing an digital camera's image of their party in the restaurant they have just left. Yes, film noir, it is.
