This seems harder to read than SQL, and only less verbose if you assume that an SQL database would be built with Prela's limitations in mind, which doesn't feel like a reasonable assumption.

With some syntax sugar it looks almost exactly like SQL [1]. Here I’m showing the unsweetened edition for didactic purposes.

I think you'd want to format it like SQL blocks to separate various concepts and where data is coming from

    movie.with(
      company.s(country).eq("[us]"
    )
    .and(
      keyword.eq("character-name-in-title")
    )
    .select(
      title
      .and(
        cast.s(person).s(alias).s(text)
      )
    )
