This fun film from Show Love follows Yoko Furusho, a Japanese illustrator now living in New York, as she does a live painting on the front window of Ikiru, a Japanese store in Barcelona. As she paints, we get little glimpses of her life and her decision as a young adult to run away from home to study art in New York City. I love the composition of this film and its delightful score, as well as watching the joy that Yoko's painting brings to the people who stop on the street to watch her. I hope you enjoy:
