In this Pygmalion inspired romantic-comedy, a struggling sculptor-turned -window dresser, Jonathan, falls in love with his own creation: a shop mannequin that only he sees as living. Together, the pair revitalize a struggling department store with their imaginative window displays. Mannequin’s light-hearted fun and genuine heart earned it a cult following and remains a nostalgic classic for many that captures the 80s through its bright, playful fashion and decor.
