The weakness of the storyline is that we never ever are shown any details of the works of the poor sidewalk artist. What's more, the young woman was in such a hurry that I cannot believe that she paid any meaningful attention to them, either. With the filming of some additional scenes, this short film could be made all the more meaningful and inspirational. However, without our having seen any of the paintings, we can't weigbh in whether the guy had any genuine talent or not and therefore also don't know whether her friends were genuinely interested in him as a prospective new talent or whether they're just mercy-buying his paintings as a gesture of the season.
