My Portrait<br />
[ O m a k u v a ]<br />
The main character in the film, a lonely painter, sits in his studio before a blank canvas, wondering<br />
what to paint. He decides to paint a self-portrait. The film follows the artist working, this exciting<br />
and ever-escalating process, up until the painting is finished... but something goes wrong.<br />
The self-portrait may have become a little too realistic, it almost breathes...<br />
