Use this prompt

Create a grainy cinematic 35mm street-photography style image inside an old European café at night, with a muted green-yellow color cast, soft window reflections, low available light, shallow depth of field, and the feeling of a candid documentary photo. The scene shows exactly two seated patrons: on the left, {argument name="left patron" default="a woman with long dark hair in a black coat, holding a cigarette near her face"}, and on the right, {argument name="right patron" default="a man in a gray coat sitting behind her at another table, looking downward at a newspaper"}. Both faces are intentionally obscured by plain dark square blocks for anonymity. Include exactly three round marble café tables: one foreground table on the left with a white espresso cup and saucer, a small drinking glass, a black ashtray, and a cigarette pack; one middle-right table with a white espresso cup and saucer, a clear water glass, and folded newspapers; and one blurred empty foreground table at the bottom right. Include exactly three visible bentwood café chairs: one behind the middle-right table, one partially visible at bottom right, and one dark chair shape near the left patron. Add an old wall menu board in the upper left with hand-lettered text reading “PORTO ROUGE FINS C 250.” The background should contain dark wood paneling, mirrors or glass doors, a vague reflected figure, and a bright greenish doorway or window on the far right. Use {argument name="lighting mood" default="dim smoky café lighting with soft highlights and deep shadows"}, {argument name="film stock look" default="aged color negative film, visible grain, slight blur, vignetting"}, and {argument name="aspect ratio" default="4:3 horizontal frame"}. Avoid modern objects, crisp digital sharpness, clean studio lighting, or any additional people in the foreground.
