Concept
We open on a wide shot: a man stands at the shoreline, rubbing sand across his face. He wears earth-toned linens. His presence is quiet and timeless. The world feels ancient, untouched.

He washes his face slowly with water. The sand dissolves. He wipes his face with a linen cloth. Then he bows, laying his forehead to the sand. He kisses the earth. Comes back up.
The ritual is complete.

The ground begins to shift. Subtle. Sacred. The sand falls inward, creating a small hollow. From beneath it, a vessel emerges. He lifts it, opens it, and applies the contents with quiet care.

No dialogue. Just breath, texture, and stillness.

It is not a transformation.
It is a return.
