The Painter
A famous painter puts on an exhibition in a prestigious gallery, knowing that all the attention will be on him. The cameras follow him from the moment he sets foot in the place. He is busy preparing everything for the big event, but he can't stop thinking about the art criticism that was key to achieving the success he now has. A couple of years ago, she wrote a review that changed his career, and he knows that if he does her a favor again, his reputation will only continue to rise.
The critics come to the gallery, and the tension between them is evident. After exchanging a few words about what has happened since their paths crossed, he begins to look for a way to get her to give him a favorable review. The talk seems to be going in the right direction, but both know that the real agreement is not closed with nice words.
They end up leaving the place, looking for a more private space. He makes her an indecent proposal to make sure she speaks highly of his work, and she soon accepts. What began as a professional negotiation quickly turns into something more intimate.
