Cinematic wide shot of a luxurious restaurant with soaring ceilings, ornate crystal chandeliers and dark wood panelling. An elderly European man, 70, grey beard and short grey hair, in a blue jacket and beige shirt, sits alone at a table with soup, bread and a glass of red wine, looking up in confusion. A stern manager in a dark grey suit leans over the table pointing a finger, while a young African American waitress in a white shirt and black skirt stands behind him, her face tense with worry. Warm golden lighting, shallow depth of field, realistic film still, muted amber and deep brown palette.
