An elderly woman in wide-leg trousers wipes a huge glass prism in a dark suburban dining room as a blinding light flares through a lace-curtained bay window.

An elderly lighthouse keeper stands in a dim, velvet-draped suburban parlor, polishing a huge detached Fresnel lens prism while a coastal beacon's beam blasts through the bay window. Shot on an ARRI Alexa 35 with Panavision H-Series glass, the frame captures the eerie, unsettling asymmetry and cool low-key shadows of 2020s Suburban Gothic cinema, complete with harshly clipped highlights blooming through the lace curtains.
