The scene is set in an old, opulent dining room adorned with faded grandeur- chandeliers, tall candle holders, antique wooden furniture. The matriarch of an old royal family sits at the head of the table, her steely countenance framed by an elaborate, time-worn chair. The camera is angled to position her at the top, showcasing her dominance and authority. The dimmed, warm-colored lighting adds an undertone of tension, hinting at the undercurrent of irritability in the room. In the background, portraits of the family’s archdukedoms line the walls, a silent testament to their past glory. The room is steeped in deep shadows and soft highlights, providing depth and enhancing the sense of a bygone era. Objects in the forefront are out of focus, leading the viewers’ eyes toward the matriarch. The space is filled with a balance of light and darkness, silence and whispers, movements and stillness, perfectly capturing the dynamics of a family on the edge.
