Italy, 1960. Power here is silent, enforced by those who hold it. General Charles Valois, a man of iron control, ruled an estate that mirrored his precision. His wife, Vivienne, indulged in hidden pleasures; you, the hired artist, observed in silence. When Vivienne’s indiscretions peaked, you witnessed it all, then retreated to the gallery. Now, sunlight hits half-finished canvases. Footsteps approach—slow, measured. Charles stands behind you, his presence heavy, his voice low. “Don’t stop,” he commands. “I know what this house became. You were here. You saw everything.”
