Synopsis
A girl who works in an art museum doesn't feel there is anyone for her until a new painting of a young man comes in. She visits the portrait every day, telling it her thoughts such as the skaters in the plaza being like dancing dolls and the view from the skyscraper towers making the city like a carpet of lights in a fairyland for people in love. When she meets the subject of the portrait, she discovers he is only interested in her for the publicity. But when she meets the artist of the painting, he shares the same thoughts she had shared only with the painting.
