A realistic handheld-style video inside a quiet living room just after Christmas.
An older American male veteran in his late 60s sits alone in a chair.
A small Christmas tree still stands in the corner, lights turned off, ornaments untouched.
On the table in front of him are old military photos and folded letters from fallen comrades.
He slowly picks up one photo and looks at it in silence.
No dialogue.
The feeling is heavy but controlled — grief held quietly, not performed.
Natural indoor lighting, no cinematic effects, no background music.
Subtle room ambience only.
Vertical format, 9:16, authentic documentary-style TikTok realism.
