5-second stop-motion animation video, Steve Burton puppet style, handcrafted clay and fabric aesthetic, frame-by-frame texture variation, 24fps. FIXED CHARACTER MODELS — maintain exact same puppet design throughout. Interior set: 1990s post-soviet apartment living room, stop-motion miniature set, walls with embossed floral-pattern wallpaper beige with raised cream flowers slight yellowing at edges, linoleum floor with faded beige-and-brown repeating geometric diamond pattern and scuff marks. Dark polished wood sideboard with white crocheted doily, porcelain ballerina figurine with one raised arm, and VINTAGE RADIO: 1980s soviet "Spīdola" transistor, rectangular, dark wood side panels with hand-painted wood-grain, yellowed beige plastic front with hairline cracks, two brass knobs with left one chipped, frequency dial with hand-painted black numbers and fingerprint smudge on glass, dusty beige woven textile speaker grille frayed at bottom-right corner, short bent metal antenna. Radio OFF. Warm dim ceiling fabric-drum lamp light. Dust motes floating. CHARACTER 1 — MOM: stop-motion hand-sculpted clay puppet, tall thin figure with slightly hunched tired posture, oval face with subtle hand-painted crow's feet at eye corners and faint bluish-gray shadows painted under eyes, weary but kind expression, hand-painted brown irises, stiff chemically-permed auburn-brown small curls slightly matted and flat at back of head, helmet-like volume at sides.

Fingernails: chipped pale pink nail polish with uneven peeling edges. Sitting on vintage metal-legged stool with cracked brown leatherette seat. ACTION: Mom leans down, places hand on girl's shoulder, speaks sternly with painted lips moving, then straightens up, turns, walks toward door left of frame, glances back once with concerned expression, exits. Door click heard off-screen. Girl looks toward door then slowly turns gaze toward radio. Camera slow push-in on radio.
