Period drama motion poster teaser from @masterpiecepbs

The video features two actors in elaborate period costumes posing as a couple in front of a scenic garden backdrop. The camera slowly zooms in as they hold a rigid, painting-like pose, share a brief, intense look with one another, and then turn their gaze back to the camera, concluding with a promotional title card for the PBS series 'The Forsytes'.
