A symbolic, surreal video scene in the visual style of a lost sacred film. The entire frame is in faded monochrome — dark sepia and black tones, like burned parchment or decomposed celluloid. The image is grainy, damaged, flickering, and decayed, with film scratches and dirt. All characters and shapes are primitive, ritualistic, and dehumanized — moving slowly, like sacred puppets or dream-figures. The camera is either still or drifts with unnatural slowness. The background is timeless and void — a liminal space filled with dread and mysticism. No modern elements. No realism. Every object is symbolic: crowns, serpents, spirals, hands, masks, ladders, broken statues. All lighting is low, trembling, like dim candlelight in a ruined temple. There is no speech or dialogue. The atmosphere is ancient, metaphysical, sacred and disturbing — evoking themes of illusion, gnosis, decay, divine silence, and rebirth. Optional audio (added later) includes ambient drones, reversed chants, metallic echoes, slow ticking, breath-like whispers. Inspired by the cinematic tone of Begotten (1990), The Holy Mountain (1973), Meshes of the Afternoon (1943), and Stalker (Tarkovsky). The visual must feel like a haunted spiritual relic — a forbidden ritual remembered from a forgotten dream. The Circle of Silence – Nine hooded monks sit in a circle, unmoving. One begins to vibrate and disintegrate into ash.
