A face appears on the screen. White, new, fresh, it contemplates itself like in a mirror. The hands touch the face, start to prepare it like one prepares a terrain to welcome something strange. Foundation, powder, make-up ... not forgetting the hair, the essential feminine ornament. The more make-up covers the face, the more agitated the person starts to act. Make-up which at times can help you dream, erase undesired bemishes, in this case reveals the deeper troubles of this woman, of whom we start to preceive her selfdestructive nature. At the end all that remains is a battlefield, the make-up has turned into a painting of the battle against on-self - also against us as spectators facing this face.
