Poem

In the midst of a decaying aristocratic household, a young servant's rigid devotion serves as a poignant counterpoint to the chaos that surrounds him. As his family members succumb to modernity and personal turmoil, he clings to tradition, illuminating the stark contrasts between old-world ritual and the uncertainty of the future through the simple yet telling act of carrying a flashlight. This quietly powerful drama is a nuanced exploration of social change, emotional unrest, and the struggle to hold onto what is left of the past.
