The poster is created on a yellowish, slightly wrinkled background, which gives an impression of age. The upper part is dominated by violet and pink tones, depicting a stylized cinema building with pointed roofs and windows designed as horizontal lines. Above this illustration, the cinema's name is written in large, curved letters using two different fonts—one with thick lines, the other with a slimmer script. Below the cinema image, the title is placed in green, using a distinctly decorative, handwritten-style font. In the center, a large, violet caricature-like image of characters is visible, where a man with a wide-brimmed hat and a woman with a prominently styled hairstyle visually occupy a large portion of the poster. In the lower part, there is another text fragment in red and black, using various letter sizes and thicknesses. At the bottom edge of the poster, three separate words are framed, each on its own colored stripe—red, green, and blue.
