A realistic, smartphone-style video filmed inside a modest American living room on a quiet afternoon.
An older white American veteran father stands face to face with his adult son, who is wearing a U.S. military uniform.
They stop directly in front of each other and hold eye contact in silence.
The father straightens his posture and raises his own right hand in a formal military salute.
The son immediately stands at attention and returns the salute with his own right hand.
They hold the salute for several seconds without moving.
