Cinematic 16:9, 1930s Harbin restaurant, final shot. The singer looks straight ahead — not up, not down — searching. His gaze moves slowly across each face in the room. Not a prayer. A search. He does not find what he looks for. Camera slowly pulls back through the frosted glass window — Harbin street outside, falling snow, Chinese lantern swaying, Chinese shop signs. The same lantern as the opening shot. Slow fade to black. Film grain, cold muted palette. 10 seconds.
