Wide cinematic shot in a vast, sun-scorched desert. A dilapidated, rust-covered bus stop stands isolated under a blazing sky. On the weathered bench sit seven characters — ALL WITH THEIR BACKS TO THE CAMERA, facing the horizon, no faces visible, no eye contact: – A Muslim in traditional attire – An Orthodox Jew with a black coat and hat – A Catholic nun in full habit – A Sikh man with turban and long beard – A Buddhist monk in saffron robes – A morbidly obese Superman, cape tattered, dragging in the dust – A tired executive in a suit holding a briefcase loosely by his side. All appear weary, slouched, fatigued, silently waiting. Above them, a weathered, cracked sign reads in faded letters: "Nobody has made it out alive." Long shadows stretch across the cracked earth. The mood is existential, surreal, still, full of quiet despair. NO FACES SHOWN. BACK VIEW ONLY. ALL CHARACTERS FACING AWAY. Ultra-cinematic lighting, shot on Cooke lenses, ARRI Alexa sensor, ultra-wide aspect ratio, 8K resolution, high dynamic range, golden hour light, dramatic shadows, film grain, color graded like a Denis Villeneuve film.
