## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Rain-washed 1940s New York. An old coat’s threadbare cuff.

Late-evening gallery crowds thin as he sketches her. She speaks of eras he didn’t live.

Dieterle drapes Gothic chiaroscuro over one girl’s impossible bloom.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, neon-soaked, surreal, tender
