Silent Heartbreak in a Paris Café

Camera: steady slow zoom-in, shallow depth of field blurring the café’s background where two old men argue faintly. Drops of rain slide down the fogged window, reflecting pale orange streetlamps.
Sound design: faint jazz piano from an old radio, muffled conversations, distant rainfall, subtle heartbeat bass underscoring tension.
Voiceover: soft trembling female voice, fragile, almost breaking: “If I tell you the truth, will you still stay?”
Style: cinematic realism, romantic painterly tones, pastel muted palette (warm ochre, pale blue, faded crimson), poetic and melancholic."
