Two characters confront each other in this film: the multi-faceted woman, at turns a wild young girl and a sophisticated socialite, and, opposite her, the microscope that examines her with a mocking eye. Female charms flash across the screen, magnified several hundred times. We go from the eyes to the lips, from the teeth to the hair, from the bones that make up the silhouette to the muscles that adorn it. Once the tour is over, the microscope takes an ironic look at the various chemical components of a beautiful female body: sugar, salt, coal, metals and, above all, water, the 74% of water that goes into the recipe for beauty.
