Photoreal cinematic film still, vertical 9:16, ARRI Alexa, 50mm, shallow depth of field, natural grain. Grey dawn light through net curtains in an old English vicarage bedroom. Close on an old double bed: an elderly white man's hand (thin, age-spotted, striped pyjama sleeve) reaching across and resting flat on the EMPTY pillow beside him. On that pillow, a pair of women's reading glasses resting on an open Bible, the pages soft and out of focus, a pencil lying in the crease. The duvet on her side folded back as if someone had just sat up. No face visible, no other people. Quiet, devastating stillness. No readable text.
