A sleepwalking man in a loosened 1980s skinny tie unties a velvet curtain cord on a moonlit manor staircase in a grainy 35mm film still.

Trapped in a trance on the grand marble stairs of a decaying mansion, a sleepwalker still wearing his evening shirt and loosened skinny leather tie unknots the velvet cord of a tattered drapery. The cool midnight blues, deep blacks, and blooming window halation recall 1980s Neo-Gothic romance cinema captured on Agfa XT 320 stock through Canon K35 lenses, complete with fine emulsion grain and print dust.
