Photorealistic cinematic historical reconstruction, Britain, 1923. A row of simple wooden quarantine enclosures containing Basenjis from Sudan during medical treatment. One Basenji is clearly visible in the nearest enclosure, matching the established Basenji appearance from the earlier film: lean elegant body, short smooth coat, upright ears, narrow head and tightly curled tail. Several other enclosures extend into the background. A period veterinarian quietly attends to the dogs. During the shot, the veterinarian closes one now-empty enclosure, while the remaining Basenji stays quietly inside its own enclosure. The growing emptiness is subtle and unsettling. Muted brown and blue-grey tones, soft natural daylight, aged wood, subtle film grain, restrained historical documentary realism. Preserve the Basenji's realistic anatomy and proportions. No death shown, no dead animals, no corpses, no gore, no generic African dogs, no mixed breeds, no modern objects, no text, no fantasy, no anthropomorphism, no glossy AI look. No camera movement. No audio, no dialogue, no music, no sound effects.
