Portrait of Jennie ( 1948 )

Winter of 1934, New York City. With his work lacking depth, struggling artist Eben Adams is in dire need of inspiration. However, in snow-covered Central Park, Manhattan, Eben has a chance encounter with his romantic, godsent muse: Jennie Appleton. Once, someone encouraged talented Eben to find new meaningful subjects to escape poverty. Now, this rendezvous with fate is beyond his expectations. Excited, Eben starts preparing a canvas to draw Jennie's portrait, the first and only thing he's ever been sure of in his life, and a beautiful, platonic relationship that defies time gradually blooms. But an unfathomable mystery lies behind Jennie's big, doleful eyes. Can love alter destiny? Will Eben complete his magnum opus?—Nick Riganas
