## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Montmartre summer. A brass band skirled near a bridge.

A gaudy uniformed grifter courts a silk-gloved diplomat’s wife in a gilt café while pickpockets rehearse under café tables.

Von Stroheim’s silent-era satyr spins papier-mâché grandeur across crumbling velvet.

**Mood tags**: dread, outsider, slow-burn
