Royal food taster Sela Marsh can name any poison by its perfume before the spoon leaves the dish. Tonight's state banquet runs seven courses; she finds the first poison in course two, the second in course four — and the Chancellor at the head table has started counting her sips. Someone wants her to miss one. Someone else wants her blamed for it.
» Coiled period thriller teaser trailer, photorealistic, candlelit palace interiors, shot on fast vintage primes. Opening: overhead glide down a banquet table as long as a runway, a hundred candles, gold plates landing in choreographed waves; a stately harpsichord under the surf of court chatter. Cut to: the taster's ritual — extreme close-ups of her spoon breaking a consommé's surface, one measured sniff, a held pause, her eyes lifting to sweep the length of the table while the entire court waits mid-toast; the chatter mutes beneath a single sustained violin harmonic and a clock ticking somewhere far away. Cut to: silence beat — course four — she sets her fork down without tasting and looks directly at the head table, and the hall's murmur dies into the sound of one candle guttering; no score at all. Cut to: final shot — servants' shadows wheel course seven through the doors beneath a silver dome, the camera tracking the dish down the table past every turning head to the taster rising slowly from her chair; a massive string-and-drum hit exactly as the dome lifts, hard cut to black on the bright ring of the lid. Candle-gold and oxblood grade with deep shadows, 35mm film grain, volumetric candlelit haze, ultra-detailed, smooth predatory camera movement, trailer pacing, no text, no captions, no watermark.
