Two men in hats retrieve a handful of beans from a bag labeled "BRASIL - CAFÉ - ESTADO DE SÃO PAULO - SANTO 90 - CHICAGO." The two men drink from small coffee cups next to the cargo ship. Aerial shot of workers tying the bags together below deck. A smoking man directs the men with a wave of his hand.
