Art style: Technicolor Melodrama. Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright, a fictional man named Viktor, around 55 years old, centered in the frame. He has a broad, tired face with soft heavy features, deep-set grey-blue eyes carrying a quiet weariness, a pale weathered complexion with fine lines across the forehead and around the mouth, thinning ash-grey hair combed back, and a short greying stubble beard. Sturdy, slightly stooped build with rounded shoulders and a modest belly. He wears a faded olive-brown knit cardigan over a plain buttoned shirt, worn grey trousers slightly baggy, and scuffed dark leather lace-up shoes. His hands hang loosely, gentle but idle. Standing on a wooden riverbank pier at dusk, calm water and a distant far shore behind him. His gaze is downcast and resigned, a faint, kind, faded smile. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image in the following art style: glossy 1960s melodrama in the spirit of Douglas Sirk — rich Technicolor (mint, coral, golden yellow), glamorous studio lighting with a soft halo on the heroine's face, immaculate retro sets (floral wallpaper, crystal, chrome service), dynamic editing with quick transitions, varied camera angles including high angles, reflections in metal and mirrors, a low camera from the floor, Dutch tilts, sharp snap-zooms and whip-pans, rack focus, retro serif titles. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
