| Summary |
A young artist living in New York, on the fringes of the financial district and its rushing crowds, tries to make a living sketching passers-by on the street. He survives on his meager means and has found refuge in an abandoned building. One night, on the corner of a back alley, he finds a little girl whose father has just been murdered. While struggling to take care of her, he meets a young rich woman who immediately falls in love with this awkward couple. This silent, black and white comedy is a moving and funny homage to Charlie Chaplin's *The Kid*. Nominated for three awards at the **Film Independent Spirit Awards** including Best Director. Official Selection at the **Cannes Film Festival**. *"Laughs, romance, and even something of an adventure flower in Lane's New York." - Alan Scherstuhl, **Village Voice*** |
