El artista

The Artist is a 3.5-minute short film about loneliness, memory, and the transformative power of kindness. Set entirely on the Barcelona metro, it follows a weary businessman on his forgotten birthday who receives a mysterious drawing from an old man. Only in the final reveal do we discover that a year earlier, the businessman’s own small act of compassion had given that tramp-turned-artist a reason to keep going.

A circular story of empathy, The Artist reminds us that even the smallest gestures can ripple through time and return when most needed.
