This documentary is an example of how cinema can be a fun exercise of reflection and reconstruction of reality.
The premise of director Susanne Helmer was simple. She asked herself who is the female model that appears on the box of an inflatable hair-dryinghood?
From this curious, but acceptable question, Helmer begins to investigate the true identity of the model while imagining and acting scenes of her supposed life, interpreting them herself.
The film thus becomes a fictional game that grows in realism when we get to know the true biography of the model that served as a trigger for this ingenious documentary.

Premiered at the renowned Berlin International Film Festival, this documentary finds in the sea and the men that cross it a metaphor about the exchange of pleasure between these men and the women who wait for them in the ports of the world.
In this way, what could be a contemplative essay on maritime economy is contaminated with eroticism in each drop and in each film frame.
