Life Drawing


SYNOPSIS:

An old widower, who has only his cat for company, one morning accidentally stumbles upon his old paintbrushes. This awakens in him his old passion for painting, and he quickly arranges for a model from a nearby art school to pose for him.

However, the painting session with the model does not turn out the way the old man planned. As he struggles to paint, the young woman becomes increasingly angry. She accuses him of not only being an untalented dilettante but also a pervert. After this humiliating experience, the old man is shattered and plunges into despair. After several months, an unexpected visit from the model provides the widower with a moment of joy.

LOG LINE:

An old widower who aspires to paint has his life turned upside down by a pregnant art model.
