LOGLINE
Daniel learns the transcendence of love when he buys an antique picture from a jumble sale.


SYNOPSIS

To the outside world DANIEL has a tough exterior, but for MURIEL, his sister, he's got a heart of gold. When Muriel drags Daniel to a jumble sale he discovers a small dirty painting of a woman (GLORIA) standing beside a cottage. Despite himself, Daniel buys the picture and learns it came from the family home of his lost love. He hangs the painting in his house and admires it. The picture appears extremely life-like. At the pub, Friends talk to Daniel, but his mind is elsewhere. He returns home, stares at the picture: it changes, becomes alive. He steps into it. At the pub, Muriel dashes in, worried - no sign of Daniel for days. They go to his house, but Daniel isn't there. But in the painting, Gloria and Daniel sit having tea together outside the cottage.
