Characters:
Grandpa Stavri — approximately 75 years old, weathered face, short white stubble, dark blue knitted cap, thick wool sweater.
Mira — approximately 22 years old, waitress, dark hair tied in a bun, green apron.

He enters the small café. Mira looks up from the coffee machine. Stavri: “Two. As always.” She nods without asking another question.

He sits by the window. He places the second cup opposite the empty chair. Close-up: rising steam, cracked hands, a worn wedding ring.

Mira walks over, gathering her courage. Mira: “Grandpa Stavri… who’s the second coffee for?” A pause. Stavri: “For the one who was always late.”

He smiles at the empty chair. The rising sun shines through the window, bathing the table in warm light. A seagull flies past the window.

Technical workflow:
Create 6 keyframes with Qwen Image 3 Pro, aspect="16:9" → 1344×768. Each subsequent keyframe uses the previous one as a reference to preserve facial consistency.
Generate 6 video clips with MiniMax H3 (image-to-video) at 768 px height. Clip durations are rounded to the model’s frame grid (17k+5 frames @ 24 fps), resulting in approximately 10.1 / 12.25 / 10.1 / 12.25 / 9.4 / 7.3 seconds, for a total runtime of about 61 seconds.
Dialogue: ElevenLabs TTS, layered over MiniMax’s natural ambient audio with sidechain ducking, following the same approach used in “The Paper Boat.”
Music: ElevenLabs Music featuring solo piano and warm strings to unify all six clips into a seamless short film. The music enters subtly at 0:20 and opens into a major key at 0:44.
Editing: Use FFmpeg with 0.3-second xfade transitions between scenes.
